Hackers leak data of 41,000+ Homeland Security personnel

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A hacktivist group known as the Department of Peace has leaked the personal information of over 41,000 Homeland Security personnel, including email addresses, phone numbers, and office locations. The data, allegedly obtained through a compromise of the Okta single sign-on service, includes details on agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The hackers stated their actions were a response to Homeland Security's rhetoric about increasing enforcement, and the leaked data has been made searchable by the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets.
