According to an incident notice on IDScan's website, the company received information "on or around" Sept. 1 that an unauthorized third party was able to gain access to stored customer data, including full names along with driver's license and government-issued ID numbers.
What to do if your drivers license has been compromised
A lost or stolen driver's license creates a high risk of identity theft and fraud, as hackers can use it to open financial accounts and take out loans in your name, commit mail fraud, create a fake ID, and even develop a synthetic identity (which combines both real and fake personal data) that could be used to commit a crime. If thieves have access to your physical license or a scan, as in this latest breach, they have a complete set of information, including your birth date and photo, to assume your identity. Fraudsters can also do a lot of damage with just your driver's license number.
Because your driver's license is so valuable to identity thieves, Experian also recommends requesting your driving record, which you can get from your state's department of motor vehicles, and running a background check on yourself. Both can reveal if any fraudulent activities have been carried out in your name—for example, if someone has been pulled over or if there are arrest warrants or criminal charges linked to your identity. You can file a police report for a lost or stolen license and report identity theft if you believe your information is being used fraudulently.
IDScan.net is reportedly alerting individuals affected by this latest breach, and given its scale, you should be on the lookout for a notice. The company is offering credit monitoring and identity protection services to those impacted, and you can call 1-833-516-2980 to enroll.
