U.S. insurance provider AssuranceAmerica has confirmed a data breach affecting 6.99 million people, making it the largest known exposure of Americans' driver's license numbers in 2026. Hackers targeted an employee's credentials and stole names, contact information, driver's license numbers, auto insurance policy details, and claims data. The breach was discovered on March 17 and the investigation concluded June 15. The incident is part of a broader wave of breaches exposing government-issued identity documents, including a Texas state government breach affecting 3 million driver's licenses and passports, and several other incidents involving hotel check-in systems, money transfer apps, and prison payphone providers. The trend is linked in part to growing age verification laws pushing websites to collect identity documents.
