Story

Brian Krebs reported and the FBI confirmed on September 2 that scans attributed to identity-verification vendor IDScan.net went up for sale on a dark web service called Nexus, alongside 10 million ID cards, 3 million travel cards and 579,000 medical cards. Techdirt reports about 400,000 new records were added within 24 hours of public disclosure, meaning the feed was still running. Named customers include Hertz, FedEx and Target. Every downstream product that bolted on a verification vendor inherited a year-long real-time leak it had no visibility into. Techdirt
