AN UNPRECEDENTED LEAK of Department of Homeland Security records has exposed details of more than 41,000 employees or contractors who work for the department and its constituent agencies. The records include email addresses, phone numbers, and office addresses, but also references to internal systems and sensitive information on undercover and surveillance programs. In all, the leak provides a map of how DHS is organized and how it operates.

The records, which span DHS itself as well as seven component agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and US Customs and Border Protection, were last updated on August 19, 2026. The transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets and cybersecurity researcher and journalist maia arson crimew previewed the data to WIRED, which they say they obtained from a group calling itself the Department of Peace.

It’s back up at https://icepicx.is/

Main HUB: https://ddosecrets.org/article/icepick

Already torrenting it. I am going to mass-email every single ICE agent telling them that the Mexican Cartel has them and their families on their sights. I will use my real email because I don't give a fuck anymore. I am from Mexico and my family is big and connected, they will think it's real after they see who they are.

If you do download the database, the one that weights 50MB or so, and has the different folders of each agency, you can run a command like this one to extract all the emails only. There might be a better version of this command, I am a noob with terminal commands, I only see 4,089 emails out of the 6,000 ICE agents listed, not sure if that's ok, if some of them didn't have any, or if the command needs polishing:

jq -r '.profile_properties.email // empty' ice/* > emails.txt

Just change the "ice/*" folder's name with the agency you want.

Do not forget that all email services have a daily limit of emails you can send before getting flagged as spam or such. I think Outlook and Gmail are the most generous, but I don't know if there is a better alternative. I think the cap for free accounts is around 300 emails a day, so, I don't know, I will try with 250 a day to be safe. Maybe less, like 90.

Never forget these people feel good when they terrorize us and even kill us. They openly ruin innocent people's lives, permanently-traumatizing them. We can play the same game. Drive them to isolation and paranoia. Hopefully they commit suicide and leave good innocent people alone in peace. That'd be justice. They do the same to us after all. You just never hear about those who died to poverty or suicide, they are never mentioned in the TV or newspaper. They are killing us in silence.

That's downright evil - I love it

[-] PepperoniNipple@lazysoci.al 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don't think it's evil. I think it is what all the innocent victims of these racist people, all the 30,000+ Mexicans we lose in my country every year due to the Iron River, the 200,000+ firearms the USA sells to the cartels every year and so on (which pour down to South America too, and also the Middle East and Africa, so, really, we are talking about millions of permanently-traumatized families, depressed and destroyed over the past decades), probably wished they could communicate to them one last time before they were permanently silenced in the name of blood money.

I just want to let them know we will never forget nor forgive all those innocent lives they killed with their relentless discrimination.

DDoSecrets published the archive, which it calls "Icepick," on Wednesday. In a press release, DDoSecrets says the data is from DHS's Okta login system. In a note with the files, the hackers wrote, “They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs.”

[-] Tango@piefed.ca 131 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It seems to me that ICE would be far better off conducting its business in such a way as to not be worried about being publicly identifiable. Regular police officers are able to do their duties without masks and with the requirement to display their badges, and I dare ICE to claim that regular police don't do work as dangerous as ICE.

Obviously undercover work is the exception, but when the entirety of ICE goes around masked, they'd be fools not to expect an overcorrection.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 70 points 2 days ago

Regular police are still generally unaccountable thugs

[-] Tango@piefed.ca 77 points 2 days ago

Which makes it all the more crazy that ICE feels that it needs additional unaccountability beyond what already covers cops for so much.

[-] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 21 points 2 days ago

It's because they know they're an authoritarian paramilitary group and they are doing things that they could personally be tried for treason if their side ends up losing, like they always do eventually.

They don't want to be personally identifiable if possible, because at any point someone could decide to Kirk them when they're not in their goon squad at work.

and I dare ICE to claim that regular police don’t do work as dangerous as ICE.

Oh I can literally guarantee what ICE agents do isn't nearly as dangerous as what regular cops do. The only real danger ICE faces is self-induced by wearing masks to remain unidentifiable while they terrorize American citizens. Their jobs would be even safer than they already are if they weren't acting as a rapist's gestapo.

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Don't give them too much benefit of the doubt, more than a handful in incidents where standard beat cops are quick to hide their badge numbers when being legally recorded by innocent bystanders

There is no reason for undercover ICE operations, period.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

ICE isn't just supposed to be Nazi gestapo rounding up people the President is tarelgeting as a political distraction.

There is a place for undercover investigations of smuggling and human trafficking rings.

probably alot of sex offendors, SA-ers, and plenty of hispanics and AA they seem keen to hire, its designed to direct anger towards non-whites.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You can also go to

https://www.clearancejobs.com/

(You probably wanna have DoH enabled and HTTPS Always configured on your browser, uBlock, bare minimum)

FIlter security clearance by DHS, and just look at all the contracted companies that are currently hiring.

Tech backend, network admin, db admin, data analyst, cybersec type stuff...

But also HVAC, and 'Social Worker - Relocation/Custody'.

Thats most of what I'm seeing in terms of job titles, but yeah if you want a current list of ICEstapo subcontractor companies, well there ya go!

Not as pinpoint accurate but also just literally publically available information.

It would really suck if someone went to http://icepi.cx/ and found out how to torrent these files. Of course, that would be ridiculous.

Hopefully those ICE agents are disappeared...into the forests and oceans, or becoming strange fruits. They are domestic terrorists and human traffickers.

Good. Maybe a little unmasking will put some fear into these caustic little shitheads.

They only behave the way that they do because their superiors have emboldened their basest instincts and shielded them from retaliation .

If these guys ever thought thay consequences might catch up with them, they'll be out the door in no time flat.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

6,200 belong to US Citizenship and Immigration Services

Who wants to bet there are 6,200 people who don't hide who they work for. This group is often working hard to keep things going as they should.

[-] ElChinchilla@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I bet there are even a lot of them very pro immigration and trying their best to help people amidst this backdrop of hate.

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

From personal (family) experience, you are correct.

Oh no! Everyone spread the word so that people know to not look at the data! In fact, save a local copy of it in case you need to show someone what data to avoid looking at 🙂‍↕️

If they got this info from Okta, does that mean other companies using Okta are vulnerable?

[-] pageflight@piefed.social 13 points 2 days ago

My guess is they just phished someone's Okta administration credentials.

Actions that is described in his forum would result in bans and evidence given to the state.

The same thing ICE does to others. Beatings, kidnappings, and murders.

If the rest of the population is exposed to ICE and other federal agents, it's good to have those agents exposed to the general population. And now might be a time to remind all federal agents that the law may start to apply against them again after Nov 3rd for any of their illegal actions on Trump's behalf.

You should definitely NOT go to https://icepi.cx/ and NOT download the torrent of this database.
