Hack of Homeland Security workers’ data fuels violent rhetoric online

A hack that publicly shared the identities of 41,000 Department of Homeland Security workers this week is fueling some violent rhetoric targeting immigration officers, an analysis of social media by the SITE Intelligence Group found. ….

An account tied to an anarchist movement in Colorado posted information about five DHS employees working in one city. “We do not forget. We do not forgive. You will not avoid accountability,” the post read. Several accounts on platforms such as Instagram, Threads and X espoused violence, including calls to kill the officers and harm their families. …..

The “hacktivist” group that obtained the data said it aimed to promote transparency, but Trump officials have said publishing officers’ names puts them in danger.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The DHS hack a couple of days ago might even be worse than the recent FBI hack, although the number of employees’ records exposed ranges from half a million to around 40 thousand.

these same ‘hacktivists’ that are doxing DHS employees talk with a lot of bravado, but they go to great lengths to hide their own identities.

The FBI and the NSA ( assuming they are now loyal government agencies) must do a better job thwarting hackers and identifying them. It should not be too difficult to identify the hacker and the people in possession of this data. Then promptly arrest them none too gently.

The hack isn’t fueling the violent rhetoric. Articles in the Washington Post and other MSM publications that make ICE agents and DHS workers out to be Nazi Stormtroopers are what is fueling the violent rhetoric. Look in the mirror, Washington Post.

The headlines states the hack fueled the violence

This is third grade, as in grammar school, elementary level incorrect sentence structure

Of course they want you to assume the hackers fueled the response by the hackees. The DHS agents

We know that the DHS agents are not immature idiotic criminal minded violent reactionaries

We also know that if DHS were reacting violently the news reports would be gigantic and overwhelming so we know it didn’t happen

The level of idiocy of the Washington post readers who buy this propaganda is amazing

These are not likely hacks but instead are likely leaks by contractors, many of them not even Americans.
