Maybe IDScan wasn't permanently storing the records and deleted each one after analysis, but their platform was so thoroughly hacked that the instant a record was uploaded it was copied by the hackers. Not that that makes the situation any better.

    IDScan has not said how many individuals are affected but notes on its website that it holds over 150 million driver’s license records.

    They certainly claim to be holding those records deliberately, as a selling point.
