ICE Employees’ Data Leaked Because Watching Cops Finally Got Boring
KEY POINTS
- •Approximately 4,500 DHS employees' personal information, including 2,000 ICE frontline agents, was leaked last week to a site called ICE List.
- •The mass leak followed the killing of Renee Good and exposed the use of $75 billion from Trump's act on Israeli spyware and Palantir for surveillance.
- •Authorities condemned the doxing and threatened prosecution, while activists used Bluetooth scanners and surveillance hacks to monitor ICE raids.
In a plot twist nobody practicing mischief should ignore, around 4,500 DHS folks, including 2,000 ICE enforcers, found their personal info laid bare on 'ICE List' last week. The breach, the biggest employee data spill DHS has ever endured, follows the homicide of Renee Good in Minneapolis, a spark for the digital uprising. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down on doxing condemnations while threatening hackers with legal fireworks. Activists weaponized $75 billion from Trump’s glamorously named 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on spyware from Israel and Palantir software, turning ICE’s mass surveillance into a slapstick cat-and-mouse game, with Bluetooth sniffers and YouTube savvy revealing flaws that even Anonymous would find loud. The irony hits home as litigations loom and Instagram live streams land protesters in federal hot water, proving that in the war of surveillance tools, it’s the low-key hackers rewriting the rulebook – quietly breaking things and tweeting from the shadows.
