Dubrovsky, associated with firms Cypfer and CyberSteward, was attending a cyber insurance conference when arrested. His case has been moved to Texas, the center of the FBI's investigation into ShinyHunters, a hacking group that has extorted over $70 million this year and recently stole sensitive FBI personnel data.
FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses
Matched: medical
A dark web service called Nexus was selling scans of over 153 million drivers licenses from the US and Canada, apparently stolen from Louisiana-based identity verification company IDScan.net. Timestamps on stolen records matched when victims used services at Hertz rental car locations and marijuana dispensaries. The FBI's New Orleans field office opened an investigation, and Nexus subsequently went offline. IDScan.net confirmed unauthorized access to customer data including names and ID numbers.
