Dark web marketplace Nexus sells 153M+ ID scans including UV and IR images, reportedly sourced from real-time scanning service access
↗
A dark web service called Nexus is selling over 153 million driver's license scans, including infrared and ultraviolet images, apparently harvested in near real-time from third-party scanning service IDScan.net, which is used by car rental companies and dispensaries.
The breach exposes high-fidelity scans that could enable counterfeit IDs to pass hologram verification, not just text records. The near real-time exfiltration suggests ongoing access to a scanning service, meaning new IDs continue to be compromised until the source is secured.

The scans include infrared and ultraviolet spectrum images that could enable production of counterfeit IDs passing hologram verification.
