Driver's Licenses for Sale on Dark Web Following Rental Car Incident

A troubling exposé reveals that a rented SUV led to a shocking discovery: my driver's license was swiftly listed on the dark web. Within hours of scanning by a rental company employee, my ID was among over 153 million others available through a service called Nexus.
This alarming breach includes high-resolution scans of IDs, with some files capturing images in infrared and ultraviolet spectrums, potentially enabling counterfeiters to bypass hologram checks.
