Hackers Leak Personal Data of Thousands of Homeland Security Personnel

Personal details belonging to tens of thousands of Department of Homeland Security employees have been leaked to the public in a major security breach. Reports indicate that a hacktivist group and a hacker managed to obtain personally identifiable information affecting more than 40,000 staffers.

The compromised data specifically involves personnel from agencies within the department, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and border police. While some reports specify that over 41,000 individuals were impacted, others state the figure is over 40,000.
