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

Shoutout to @Wizards Secret Lair for having the single worst customer service and shipment tracking process I have ever seen in my life. Actually abhorrent to try to shift the onus on the customer to find a missing package lost in your own terrible shipping system.
Compromised data includes Full Names, emails, login IPs, and billing and shipping address information for customers, though notably only address information relating to billing was compromised.
@RicVaDude Are you really out here commenting on people's appearance while looking like you're auditioning for an even gayer remake of brokeback mountain?
Good morning. The President of the United States is threatening to genocide an entire civilization tonight if he doesn't get what he wants. Welcome to the new America, where now our war crimes are premeditated.
Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.
@RRibout@TXLeftLib@ReallyAmerican1@SecRubio So you're saying the Trump administration is at least as bad as Hillary Clinton and is willfully abandoning American citizens in a warzone?
A collection of the dumbest dudes you knew from high school felt emasculated when a black man got elected president, so, to compensate, we now have a semi-sentient pig’s stomach in a red hat starting an illegal war to distract the country from all the sex crimes he committed.
We have just gone to war with Iran without any serious public debate, without any authorization from Congress, without even an explanation from the US president as to why we just went to war.
Hope it all works out.
Fear that it will not.
