Data Leak Exposes Personal Details of Over 41,000 US Homeland Security Employees
A data leak exposed personal details of over 41,000 US Department of Homeland Security employees, including agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The information, published by Distributed Denial of Secrets and sourced from a group called Department of Peace, includes names, contact details, job titles, and assignments in sensitive operations. DHS is investigating the breach, which reportedly originated from the Okta sign-on system, though Okta denies any compromise. The agency is working to protect affected employees and will provide updates.
