Data Breach Allegedly Exposes Personal Details of 41,000 U.S. Homeland Security Officials
A hacktivist group known as the 'Department of Peace' has allegedly leaked a searchable database containing the personal information of over 41,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials. The data, which was posted to the leak site Distributed Denial of Secrets, reportedly includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, and manager details. The breach is claimed to have originated from an Okta single sign-on service used by the agency. The exposed information appears to involve personnel from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). While DHS has not issued a formal statement, they told the Washington Post they are aware of a potential breach and are working to address it. The leak is framed by the hackers as a response to intensified immigration enforcement policies.
