In an unprecedented attack on the privacy of U.S. government officials, a hacking group called The Com has released the personal information of hundreds of FBI, ICE and Justice Department employees. This data, which includes names, addresses and phone numbers, was shared on private Telegram channels. The publication of this sensitive information has caused concern among the authorities concerned and raised questions about the origin of the data.
The hacking group, which is linked to other notorious groups such as BlackCat and ALPHV, has previously carried out high-profile attacks on companies such as MGM Resorts and Coinbase. The recent release of data from 680 DHS officials, over 170 FBI email addresses and more than 190 law enforcement officials shows the reach and threat posed by such groups.
What is particularly alarming is the fact that the publication of the data takes place in a context in which the US authorities have already warned of an increased threat from criminal organizations. Criminal groups in Mexico have given instructions to monitor and threaten ICE and CBP officers in the United States, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security report. These developments underscore the urgency to strengthen security measures for government officials.
The hackers have hinted that they might also release data from IRS officials in the future. This threat reinforces the need to review and improve cybersecurity measures in affected agencies. The publication of personal information online not only poses a threat to the individuals concerned, but also raises questions about the security and protection of sensitive information in government agencies.
