Identity verification company IDScan has confirmed that hackers accessed customer data stored in its cloud platform, days after reports linked the company to a massive database containing more than 153 million driver's license scans.
IDScan disclosed the incident in a September 4 security notice, saying it learned on or around September 1 that certain data may have been accessed without authorization.
"Upon this discovery, we took immediate steps to secure our systems and engaged a team of third-party specialists to help determine the full nature and scope of the incident," IDScan said.
The company says its investigation remains ongoing but has determined that an unauthorized third party "may" have accessed or copied customer information stored within accounts on the IDScan.net cloud.
The exposed information can include customers' full names, and driver's license or other government-issued identification numbers. While not mentioned in the notification, the breach reportedly also allowed threat actors to steal scans of driver's licenses.
