The Department of Homeland Security said it is aware of a potential breach and is working to address the situation swiftly and effectively, adding that it takes all security threats against its employees seriously.
The statement follows a leak of data on more than 41,000 DHS employees and contractors that was obtained by a group calling itself the Department of Peace and published by the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets under the name Icepick. The archive contains names, work addresses, phone numbers and membership in internal permission groups for staff across agencies such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, and references to internal systems including the Okta login service.
