🚨🇺🇸 Massive leak reportedly exposes more than 41,000 U.S. Homeland Security employees A group calling itself the Department of Peace claims it compromised a Department of Homeland Security system and obtained records belonging to employees across ICE, CBP, CISA and several other DHS agencies. The dataset reportedly contains names, work emails, cellphone numbers, job assignments and facility locations. It also exposes memberships in internal access groups associated with undercover and covert operations, wiretap programs, Palantir software, Cellebrite tools and xAI’s Grok chatbot. ⠀ Journalists who reviewed the material found records connected to undercover ICE personnel and other sensitive law enforcement roles. The data has since been released publicly with a searchable interface. The group reportedly gained access using a compromised Okta single sign-on account. DHS, ICE and CBP had not publicly confirmed the breach or responded to requests for comment at the time of publication.
