该局在周三的一份简短声明中表示，正在“调查这一事件”，但“由于调查仍在进行中”，无法进一步置评。
此次泄露事件若得到证实，可能会成为北美有史以来规模最大的政府签发身份证件泄露事件之一，将为数千万民众带来身份盗窃和欺诈风险。
克雷布斯表示，该暗网网站此前在一个俄罗斯网络犯罪论坛上做过广告，他本人的驾照还被作为免费样本提供。克雷布斯称，这个被命名为“Nexus”的服务平台声称拥有美加两国数千万张驾照数据，此外还拥有数百万张其他身份证件、旅行证件以及数十万份医疗记录。克雷布斯表示，该网站似乎在实时更新被盗数据库，这表明数据来源是一个正在持续的入侵行为。

网络安全公司Infoblox的威胁研究员扎克·爱德华兹表示，此次事件的波及范围前所未有。
“从未出现过如此规模的驾照数据泄露事件，”爱德华兹说道，他补充称自己的驾照也在该网站上被售卖。爱德华兹表示，此次持续进行的泄露事件“意味着此次攻击为知名人士带来了切实的国家安全风险”。
路透社无法确认被盗数据的来源。克雷布斯援引新奥尔良身份验证服务提供商IDScan.net的一位代表的话称，该公司正在调查此事。这家自称“大规模提供身份欺诈预防服务”的公司并未回复路透社的多次置评请求。
克雷布斯表示，在他发布相关报道后不久，该售卖驾照数据的暗网网站就已下架。

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) – The FBI said on Wednesday it was investigating a report that tens of millions of drivers’ licenses belonging to people in the United States and Canada were being sold on the dark web.
On Tuesday, the independent journalist Brian Krebs said he had discovered a dark web site, opens new tab selling digital scans of millions of drivers’ licenses from people in the U.S. and Canada. He said he confirmed the authenticity of the data being sold with nine people.

In a brief statement on Wednesday, the bureau said it was “looking into the incident” but could not comment “due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.”
The breach, if confirmed, could be one of the largest-ever exposures of government-issued identity documents in North America, creating risks of identity theft and fraud for tens of millions of people.
Krebs said he was alerted to the site after it was advertised on a Russian cybercrime forum, with his own driver’s license being offered as a free sample. Krebs said the service, dubbed Nexus, claimed to have tens of millions of licenses for people in the U.S. and Canada, as well as millions of other identification cards and travel documents and hundreds of thousands of medical records. Krebs said that the site appeared to be updating its database of stolen data in real time, indicating that it was being fed by a live breach.

Zach Edwards, a threat researcher at the cybersecurity company Infoblox, said the incident was unprecedented in terms of its sweep.
“There’s never been a breach of driver’s licenses at this scale,” said Edwards, who added that his own license was available for sale on the site. Edwards said that the ongoing nature of the breach “means that this attack created legitimate national security risks for high-profile individuals.”
Reuters could not establish the source of the stolen data. Krebs quoted a representative of New Orleans-based identity verification provider IDScan.net as saying that it was investigating the matter. IDScan.net, which describes itself as providing “ID fraud prevention at scale,” did not return repeated messages from Reuters.
Krebs said the dark web site offering the driver’s license data vanished shortly after he published his report.
