DHS Strikes Back, Targeting 'Icepick' Leaks

The U.S. government took action to remove a search tool exposing personal information of tens of thousands of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees. The tool was initially taken offline from its original domain on Thursday but quickly reappeared at an alternate domain.

Why it matters: DHS and federal security officials must assume the exposed employee data remains accessible and plan for identity theft, social engineering, and targeting risks to government personnel.
