153 Million IDs on the Dark Web? Here’s What Happens Next

153 Million IDs Hit the Dark Web. Here’s What We Know What Happens After Identity Data Is Copied | CYBER MECHANICS Reports claim as many as 153 million identity records. IDScan has confirmed a security incident. The FBI is investigating. The count is still a reported claim. A password can be changed. A card can be replaced.
