  "account": "An extensive data breach has revealed information on over 41,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel and undercover ICE agents. The leak, dubbed \"Icepick\" by Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDOSecrets), exposes email addresses, phone numbers, office locations, and internal system references. The exposed data encompasses DHS and seven of its agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The records were last updated on August 19, 2026. The data was obtained from DHS's Okta login system, according to the hackers. DDoSecrets published the archive, named \"Icepick,\" on Wednesday. In a press release, the hackers stated, \"They have our information, so it's only fair that we have theirs.\"",
