  "account": "A massive leak has exposed the personal information of 41,000 Homeland Security workers, including undercover agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The data, dubbed \"Icepick\" by the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), was obtained from a group calling itself the Department of Peace. The leak includes details from DHS as well as seven component agencies, such as ICE and US Customs and Border Protection. The hackers claim the data is from DHS's Okta login system, to which an Okta spokesperson denies any breach. The leak comes amid DHS's aggressive efforts to target critics, including seeking to unmask anonymous social media users and obtain records on protestors. The records are searchable on a website created by DDoSecrets.",
  "summary": "The leaked records include the locations of ICE and CBP facilities, workers' cellphone numbers, and the members of groups tied to wiretap programs, Palantir software, and xAI’s Grok chatbot.",
