New: ID verification giant IDScan confirms data breach of driver's licenses. The company checks IDs used in stores and entertainment venues to verify age/identity.

IDScan's statement implies hackers contacted the company with a ransom demand.

The confirmation comes after Brian Krebs last week reported a breach of 150M+ licenses from IDScan.
