Distributed Denial of Secrets, a nonprofit leak collective, published personnel data on more than 40,000 Department of Homeland Security employees on Wednesday, including workers in intelligence-related fields, according to multiple reports.
The released information includes names, job titles, phone numbers, email addresses and office locations, The Verge reported. It said the records included employees of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The Guardian reported that the data also covered officials in surveillance and human intelligence. DDoSecrets did not identify its source, referring to the unnamed provider as the “Department of Peace,” according to The Hill.
The Guardian described the publication as the third government data disclosure in the previous month. DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment, the outlet reported.
