A DHS database containing the information of more than 40,000 employees, including names, phone numbers, and addresses of ICE, Customs and Border Protection and HSI employees has been hacked. A hacker who goes by the name Department of Peace is claiming responsibility. The Data set comprises around one fifth of the DHS workforce, which currently numbers around 220,000.

The hacked data could help investigators and lawyers hold more ICE officers accountable for violence. It could aid in being able to file more FOIA requests, which can often fail lacking the name and contact information of an officer.
