Chinese Network Selling Thousands of Fake US and Canadian IDs (3 minute read)
CloudSEK exposed a China-based operation called “ForgeCraft” that sold over 6,500 counterfeit US and Canadian driver’s licenses and Social Security cards to more than 4,500 buyers, generating over $785,000 in revenue through 83 websites and using covert packaging methods to ship fake IDs hidden in everyday items. The sophisticated fake documents feature scannable barcodes, holograms, and UV markings and pose national security risks by enabling financial fraud, bypassing border checks, and potentially facilitating voter fraud. CloudSEK researchers identified the main operator’s location in Xiamen, China, and shared evidence with authorities to disrupt the operation.

Must be a way to create a crypto hash and block chain implementation to compare it with.
