Brian Krebs' article is, in my opinion, a much better read for this story[0].

Thanks! Macroexpanded:
FBI Probes Service Selling 153M+ Drivers Licenses - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49529621 - Sept 2026 (290 comments)
It also dropped off the front page, pretty quickly, despite getting a lot of upvotes and comments. I was surprised by that, as this is exactly the type of story that tends to spend a couple of days on the front page.
But it’s also the kind of story that won’t stay down, and will definitely be back.
It appears as if there are folks here that don’t want to talk about this.
Was on the front page for ~12 hours.

Thank you for gifting me a new layer of paranoia I didn't know existed until yesterday. Once you see you can't unsee.
Brian Krebs is able to turn these security breaches / hacks into a compelling crime novel.
