I really recommending reading this.
In summary, a company which does ID verification for in-person interactions (hotels, car rentals, ID verification for alcohol or marijuana, etc) has some how exposed over 153,000,000 drivers licenses for people in the United States and Canada.
It is a catastrophic data breach, probably one of the worse I've ever seen. If you're in the United States and have traveled, gotten a hotel, purchased marijuana or alcohol, there is a high probability you're in this.
Unlike other breaches, this includes a photo of the person (from the license), making verification you've identified the person significantly easier.
This poses a significant threat to celebrities (musicians, YouTubers, streamers, adult entertainers, actors, etc), politicians, lawyers, wealthy people (CEOs, investors, people of public interest), Law Enforcement Officers, etc
Krebs himself, and several other security researchers, have already confirmed they're in the data leak.
tl;dr gah damn dawg this company is going to be sued into oblivion

Governments keep pushing ID checks everywhere, and now 153M+ driver’s license scans are being sold on the dark web.
Maybe laws forcing ID checks aren't such a great idea...🙄

@__VectorRBLX__@DeepHumor And how they implemented it was pretty crap too! To split players up based on the age ranges into groups after verifying only makes it so predators can find a work around and prey on kids easier. Kids and parents are both gonna think the other is a kid as well.
@KountryDudeEnt@CalypseDreams2 The PS fan base is fighting back at Sony after the whole announcement that future games won't have physical discs and there's a whole boycotting going on. So seeing the PS5 Pro sell out with everything going on, people will obviously see this as part of the problem.
Somehow Xbox has topped PlayStation. Can’t play digital or disc based games cause of the Xbox online network being down.
But yeah tell me how sweet the all digital future is, one network issue and the system is useless.
@SHJ54@JoblessGarrett And immediately you are an idiot. They can still do their contents in their style but they can also do it where no one gets injured & they can do it without also damaging property. These streamers knew what they were signing for when trying to get in. Some of them have no remorse
The usual suspects out in force on Twitter trying to stir up as much Palworld fuss as they can for $.
Stay vigilant, gamers.
Play games, enjoy your hobby, don’t get sucked into manufactured dramas by people posting 50 times a day to make $1.
You can like any game you want!!
