IDScan.net Data Breach? Lawsuit Investigation

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of reports of a possible IDScan.net data breach.

As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who believe their information may have been put at risk, including those who had their IDs scanned by businesses using IDScan.net's verification technology.

Reports Emerge of Possible IDScan.net Security Breach

IDScan.net, a Louisiana-based identity verification and fraud prevention platform serving companies like Hertz, FedEx, Target and marijuana dispensaries, may have suffered a data breach.

Brian Krebs, a former Washington Post journalist now running the cybersecurity investigation site KrebsOnSecurity, reported in a September 1, 2026 post on his website that the dark web marketplace Nexus is claiming to sell ID scans of over 170 million individuals in North America, purportedly sourced from IDScan.net.

Krebs' investigation suggested that the marketplace might possess around 153 million driver's licenses from the U.S. and Canada, with most from the U.S. A blank search on Nexus returned approximately 11.5 million pages of results, each with about 15 records, according to the article. A leaked sample of Krebs' own driver's license reportedly includes six image files, featuring front and back images in basic, infrared and ultraviolet versions.

Additionally, Krebs reported that the marketplace claims to have over 10 million ID cards, more than 3 million travel documents and/or international IDs, and 579,000 medical cards, including marijuana dispensary cards.

The FBI’s New Orleans field office has launched an official inquiry into the potential IDScan.net data breach, though no public findings have been disclosed yet.

Per Cybernews, a prominent cybersecurity media outlet, the Nexus service was shut down shortly after the Krebs report was published and now displays a message that it is no longer available.

At the time this post was made, no additional information was available about the scope or nature of the unconfirmed IDScan.net data breach.

What You Can Do

If you suspect your information could have been put at risk, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, lost time, out-of-pocket costs, and more.

A successful case could also force IDScan.net to ensure they take proper steps to protect the information they were entrusted with.
