Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials
The Com hacker group leaked personal data of over 1,000 U.S. officials from multiple agencies, sharing it on private Telegram channels amid ongoing tensions.
- On Thursday, a member of the Com began posting federal officials' identifying documents to Telegram, including spreadsheets listing 680 Department of Homeland Security officials, 170 FBI agents, and 190 Department of Justice officials.
- The Com, a loose collective of cybercriminal gangs, includes subgroups Lapsus$ and Scattered Spider linked to high-profile breaches in recent years.
- The leaked files include government email addresses, personal contact details, and residential addresses; the Telegram poster mocked an unverified DHS claim and demanded 1m.
- U.S. officials warn the exposure could compromise safety and privacy as hundreds of U.S. government officials had personal data exposed amid tensions over ICE enforcement and banned monitoring apps.
- The attack fits a multiyear pattern of high-profile breaches by related groups, with many participants from English-speaking hacking groups such as Scattered Spider and ShinyHunters targeting major corporate victims and public-sector entities.
