More proof that our national security has been compromised surfaced this week in the form of a major breach of government data.
Just weeks after Anonymous-affiliated hackers infiltrated NASA’s computer systems and stole reams of information from the agency, another, even more serious hacking incident has taken place. This time around, the Department of Homeland Security was the target, and the consequences of it could be devastating.
Bragging on social media this past Sunday about the act, an individual who is only known by the Twitter handle @DotGovs claimed responsibility for hacking into the Department of Justice’s internet database and seizing personal information about as many as 10,000 DHS employees. The hacker proceeded to post it on the web, putting the employees at risk and weakening the department’s ability to operate.
Not satisfied with this single act of cyber-terrorism, the hacker announced his intention to release more information, in this case details about 20,000 FBI employees, onto the Internet. One shudders to think about additional data this hacker might have got his hands on and the damage he could inflict with it.
Turn to the next page to see why the hacker did it:
There is no evidence whatsoever that the DHS has ever done anything to enhance our national security, nor the TSA for that matter. And I am losing the faith I once had for the FBI. I couldn’t care less what happens to the first two. The FBI? Why should it be a secret who these people are? They workk for us don’t they?
Why is this being suppressed?
If you are not black and not a barook fan better arm yourself!!! period!!! Gross incompetence at the highest levels will “TRY” to destroy what is right and try to call it another Ferguson.
I w onder if he found out why 100 FBIU can’t indite Hilary?
it is these departments you have to worry about, not the hackers. Wake Up.
Arnie Hoot Goldberger …. So are these people criminals working for thr Government?
He ought to hack into the background check info that the gov. is not supposed to be storing and delete it. That would be very patriotic.
Good, bust them all out, as they are all acting in an illegal manner, against the people of the US.
DHS employees are a large threat to all american’s
Buck Elsass I believe the real issue isn’t not the employees but Is the one “Not Allowing” them to do their job! Obama has literally stripped our defences. Even the border patrol was told “Don’t stop them” Trump went there , they told him that was the order. Just like Benghazzi they allowed Hicks to believe help was on the way but in fact ignored it and covered it up.
