## Summary

A group called the Department of Peace and cybersecurity researcher maia crimew published details about more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security personnel, including thousands involved in immigration enforcement. The leak raises concerns about staff privacy and security, while its publishers say it is intended to increase accountability for officials overseeing covert operations and deportation programmes.

The database, named Icepick, reportedly contains staff names, work addresses, phone numbers and descriptions of their roles, including at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The Department of Peace said it accessed the profiles through Okta, a single sign-on service; Okta said it had no evidence that its systems or data were compromised. The disclosure follows a recent hack of the FBI that exposed information about thousands of agents, and a suspected attack that took the Federal Election Commission offline.
