Two of the biggest names on IDScan.net's customer list say they are not part of the breach that put 153 million driver's license scans on a dark web marketplace. The Louisiana identity verification firm confirmed on September 4 that data may have been accessed without authorization, after journalist Brian Krebs found the trove for sale on a site called Nexus.
Target told CNET it uses some IDScan hardware but did not transmit customer data to the company, and that no Target customer data was involved. Caesars Entertainment told Krebs on September 2 that it has not been a client, has not used the VeriScan product since February 2025, and did not authorize data retention. Both appeared on IDScan's own website.
That roster is doing real work. IDScan has not said how many people are affected, so its published client list is what everyone is using to size the fallout: Hertz, FedEx, GameStop, Motorola Solutions, Jack Henry, and more than 1,000 dispensaries, car rental agencies, and gun shops across 19 states.
Scale is not in doubt. IDScan scanned 150 million IDs in 2024 alone, and the listing advertised 153 million licenses alongside 10 million ID cards and 3 million travel documents. The FBI's New Orleans field office is still investigating, and IDScan is offering free credit monitoring on 1-833-516-2980.
