A hacker has released data from more than 20,000 FBI employees and 9,000 Department of Homeland Security employees.<\/p>\n
The hackers, tweeting as @DotGovs, posted a link on CryptoBin listing job titles, full names, work emails, mobile numbers.<\/p>\n
The list includes budget analysts, directors, senior advisers and computers specialists.<\/p>\n
A Department of Homeland Security released a statement saying:\u00a0“We take these reports very seriously, however there is no indication at this time that there is any breach of sensitive or personally identifiable information.”<\/p>\n
However, several sites have verified that the information leaked is factually correct.<\/p>\n
Hackers reported to Motherboard that they accessed the information by compromising an email account of a Justice Department official.<\/p>\n
One of the hackers told Motherboard: \u00a0\u201cSo I called up, told them I was new and I didn’t understand how to get past the portal,\u201d<\/p>\n
“They asked if I had a token code, I said no, they said \u2018that’s fine \u2013 just use our one\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
After that, the hackers gained access to over 200 gigabytes of sensitive data.<\/p>\n
It is the latest apparently pro-Palestine attack on US government systems.<\/p>\n
