From the article:

“it appears to be siphoning images collected by a widely-used identity verification company based in Louisiana.”

Worth noting that 5 US states (e.g. Florida) have stopped issuing standard drivers licenses and effectively force their residents to obtain a “Real ID” which includes additional data – which of course makes more sensitive data available to cybercriminals.

(edit) BTW, would be useful to have a free-world venue for posts just about data breaches. Proposal here.

    The source brought it to my attention because the proprietor of this identity theft service offered my Virginia drivers license as a free sample in their initial sales thread on Exploit.

    Oh wow, this person knows how to do marketing.

    Email Brian Krebs a copy of their license, and you’re gonna get some serious traffic.
