The FBI is investigating a massive data breach involving approximately 153 million U.S. and Canadian driver's licenses, including that of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The compromised data is suspected to have originated from an ID-authentication service provider, raising significant concerns about identity theft and national security.
In a separate major cybersecurity incident, hackers successfully withdrew an estimated 4,000 Bitcoin, valued at around $320 million, from the Liquid Federation cryptocurrency exchange wallet. This significant loss highlights ongoing vulnerabilities within the digital asset space and the persistent threat of large-scale financial cybercrime.
