Hackers put data of 41,000 employees of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security online

Activist hackers have leaked personal data of over 41,000 employees from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including sensitive information from customs and immigration officials. The group, Distributed Denial of Secrets, aims to promote accountability by making this information public. They argue that the release of such data can facilitate official requests for document disclosures. The leak raises concerns about the safety of employees, as criminals may exploit the information. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating the breach, which is the third significant data leak involving the U.S. government in a short period.
