A significant leak has exposed records belonging to over 41,000 DHS employees and contractors, including approximately 10,000 ICE personnel. The compromised data, believed to originate from DHS's Okta login system, includes phone numbers, email and office addresses, reporting structures, and permission groups related to sensitive operations. This information encompasses details about undercover work, wiretapping, and surveillance tools. Wired reports that the leak effectively provides a comprehensive organizational and operational map of DHS. The records cover DHS and seven component agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs and Border Protection, with the latest update being August 19, 2026.The transparency organization Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) and cybersecurity researcher maia arson crimew shared the data with WIRED, attributing its acquisition to a group named the Department of Peace. DDoSecrets has since published the archive, dubbed "Icepick," citing DHS's Okta login system as the source. The hackers, in a note accompanying the files, justified the leak by stating, "They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs." However, an Okta spokesperson has stated that the company is unaware of any breach and that its systems remain secure. Okta maintains there is no evidence of compromise to its data or systems.
