Asking because of the recent latitude hack, if the license is expired and now we have the new license card number, what is the big deal about old expired licenses getting used? What can they do with it if we need a license card number now?

No. They can get a drivers licence in your name. Doesn’t have to have your drivers licence number. Only YOUR bank kniws that. Any other bank will happily accept their stolen licence as legit. So yes. You do have to be concerned and protect your private info. Because proving yoyr identity has been stolen is extremely difficult and getting out of the debt these people put you under is also extremely difficult. Scammers are after this as well as yoyr money.
