A group calling itself the “Department of Peace” has released a massive trove of records on more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security employees and contractors, including names, cellphone numbers, email addresses, office locations, membership in internal groups tied to undercover operations, wiretap programs, and surveillance tools.
The transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets published the archive under the name “Icepick” on Wednesday after receiving the material from the “Department of Peace,” which claims it obtained the data from DHS’s Okta single sign-on login system.
The records were last updated on August 19, 2026, and cover DHS headquarters along with agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
WIRED, which reviewed the data dump, reported that the leak maps out organizational structure, reporting lines, facility locations, and permission groups for sensitive programs.
The report noted, “The Trump administration has prosecuted protesters for posting information about individual ICE officers and warned others for doing so. In June, 15 Minnesota residents were charged under laws related to stalking and threats of violence, which prosecutors linked to their participation in ICE-opposition activities. More than 100 HSI agents, including undercover operatives, took part in an operation that included widespread surveillance and infiltration of group chats.”
The BBC reports:
Most of the agents included, more than 21,000 of them, work for CBP, according to the data. Nearly 6,600 work for ICE.
Other records show agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service and even people working for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The leaked information also included dozens of previously unknown operation names, the agents that led and worked on those operations, and some of the technology they used in their work, including tech provided by Cellbrite and Palantir.
The hackers left a note with the files stating, “They have our information, so it’s only fair that we have theirs.”
The Department of Peace explicitly framed the release as retaliation.
A spokesperson for the group said, “On July 17th, Markwayne Mullin said he was ‘turning up the heat’. This is what happens to ICE when you do that.”
DHS confirmed to the BBC it is “aware of a potential breach and is actively working to address the situation swiftly and effectively,” adding that it takes threats against employees and officers seriously and will update the public when more information is available.
Okta told Wired that it is aware of the claims but that “Okta is secure, and we have no evidence our data or systems were compromised.”
The leak follows an attempted hack that took the Federal Election Commission system offline.

There has been a serious surge in threats and violence against federal agents, which the people publishing this information are obviously aware of.
DHS has repeatedly stated that ICE officers have faced an 8,000 percent increase in death threats and a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations.
Official releases have detailed specific incidents including an illegal immigrant in Dallas posting a TikTok offer of $10,000 for the murder of ICE agents, voicemails threatening agents’ spouses and children with deportation or violence, and cases of agents’ family members being stalked or having bounties placed on them.
In one instance, Homeland Security Investigations arrested a Florida man who repeatedly posted online calls to “shoot the ICE Nazis down” and “get a gun and shoot the ICE agents down.”
DHS has also reported agents’ spouses receiving messages comparing officers to Nazis and warning that “retribution will come.”
Activists have livestreamed following agents to their homes, posted addresses on social media, mailed postcards reading “Beware! Your neighbor is an ICE agent,” and circulated personal information tied to high-profile operations.
ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility has investigated more than 100 cases involving doxing and threats between early 2025 and early 2026.
Officials have linked the escalation to political rhetoric that labels agents as “Gestapo” or “Nazis,” while noting that the same environment has produced vehicle rammings, physical assaults, and online campaigns encouraging attacks.

Trump Faces Plot Twist In Ilhan Omar Warrant Fight As Old Foe Reemerges; And What Did Obama’s FBI Know?

The same Obama-appointed judge that President Donald Trump once branded a “Radical Left Lunatic” and demanded be impeached is now tasked with deciding whether the public can see what federal agents were searching for when they raided Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home.

Federal investigators are examining allegations involving Omar’s family immigration paperwork and discrepancies in her financial disclosures.The investigation includes questions about whether Omar’s father misstated her age in immigration paperwork filed in 2000, which could have allowed her to obtain citizenship through him while she was still a minor, the outlet also reported.The New York Times, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch, and 14 other news organizations are seeking to make the warrant public, arguing that Americans have a right to scrutinize the investigation into the Minnesota congresswoman.However, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is fighting to keep the documents sealed, warning that their release could jeopardize an ongoing federal investigation.”This request sounds rash because it is rash,” Pirro argued in a court filing.Boasberg is no stranger to confrontations with the Trump administration.In March 2025, Boasberg temporarily blocked deportation flights carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members. Trump blasted Boasberg as a “Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator” and demanded his removal from the bench.”HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!!”The battle even prompted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a rare public rebuke of Trump, declaring that impeachment was not an appropriate response to disagreements over judicial rulings.”For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision,” Roberts said at the time. “The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”What Did Obama’s FBI Know?

Meanwhile, the The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security investigated Rep. Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi during the Obama administration and found “some evidence that it was fraudulent,” the New York Times reported Thursday, in a story that rests on current and former officials. Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, has denied the allegation, and no one has been charged.The Times said the agencies looked into the marriage in the summer of 2016 on suspicion that it was arranged to win Elmi immigration status, and that prosecutors then concluded the potential felony fell outside the five-year statute of limitations, so no case was brought. The paper’s account rests on unnamed officials; the evidence itself has not been made public.The claim that Elmi is Omar’s brother has trailed her for years. She has called it a baseless conspiracy theory, but her answer to the question last week was less categorical. Asked on MS NOW by host Chris Hayes whether there was “some weird kernel of truth” to it, Omar said, “Not to my knowledge.”YIKES: Ilhan Omar was just asked if she married her brother on Live TVHer answer: “Not to my knowledge…”WHAT?!She can’t even say “NO”?!What other person would answer this question like that? Things are about to get bad for Ilhan. pic.twitter.com/n8wwJb4puy— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) October 22, 2026
The Times report lands in the middle of a live federal investigation. As noted above, Homeland Security agents searched Omar’s Washington home on October 12 under a court-authorized warrant, and the Trump Justice Department has an open criminal probe into her immigration and naturalization records. We noted at the time that investigators were using DNA and weighing a conspiracy charge, which would not be bound by the same clock; that account also came from unnamed sources.If the Times account is right, the government had evidence of the allegation a decade ago and brought no case. The current investigation, which Omar has called political intimidation ahead of the midterms, is reportedly looking at her immigration paperwork rather than only the marriage itself.The political fight is moving as fast. 175 House Democrats demanded a halt to the investigation on October 28. No criminal charges tied to the alleged marriage fraud have been announced.

Apple’s first foldable iPhone has barely reached customers, and some owners are already dealing with cracked screens. The iPhone Duo launched on Oct. 23 with a starting price of $1,999. Within hours, complaints began appearing online from people who said their new phones developed cracks along the folding display.Even more concerning, several reports describe damage appearing in nearly the same location. Some owners say their phones made unusual noises before the screens failed. Others noticed bright white lines spreading across the display. Now Apple has acknowledged the issue and says affected customers can request replacements. However, the company has yet to explain exactly what’s causing the failures.Join our upcoming CyberGuy LIVE class: 5 Ways to Travel Smarter and Save MoneyIn this free live online class, Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson will share five practical ways to protect your trip and your wallet this holiday travel season.

Register for free now at CyberGuyLive.com.SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD8 LINEUP ADDS THREE CHOICESApple spent years developing its first folding iPhone. The device opens to reveal a 7.6-inch display, giving people a much larger screen without carrying a separate tablet. When closed, it looks like a compact smartphone with a 5.4-inch outer display. The design generated enormous excitement when Apple introduced it in September. However, that excitement took an unexpected turn shortly after the first phones reached customers.Multiple iPhone Duo owners have reported cracks developing along the center of the inner display. In several cases, a bright line of damaged pixels extended from the fold toward the right side of the screen. Some owners have shared photos of the damage on Reddit, along with accounts of how quickly their new phones failed.One owner, u/leftyhyzer16, said the screen cracked before setup was complete, after opening and closing the phone only a few times. Another owner, u/Midnight_Slump, reported a failure within six hours and received a replacement from Apple. Reddit moderators also checked additional photos and Apple paperwork provided by the owner. They confirmed the damaged phone and its replacement were genuine. Meanwhile, u/chimchambam said the display failed after just three hours. That owner reported being turned away by an Apple Store before ultimately returning the phone through Verizon. All three owners described problems appearing after very little use. Their experiences don’t tell us how widespread the issue is, but they help explain why these early screen failures are getting so much attention.On Oct. 26, Apple acknowledged reports about the damaged displays. In a statement provided to news outlets, the company said: “We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units.” Apple has instructed affected owners to contact AppleCare for a replacement. That’s encouraging news for anyone whose new phone has already failed, especially considering its $1,999 starting price.However, Apple hasn’t disclosed exactly how many devices are affected or identified what’s causing the screens to crack. We also don’t know whether the problem involves a manufacturing defect affecting certain phones or something in the overall design. We reached out to Apple for additional comment but did not receive a response before our deadline.Here’s what caught my attention. Several of the damaged screens appear to crack near the hinge, right where the phone folds. That’s a pretty troubling place for something to go wrong on a $2,000 folding phone. So what’s happening inside? The repair experts at iFixit took the iPhone Duo apart and used CT scans to get a closer look at its hinge. They spotted something that could help explain the damage. A small support bar may not move far enough out of the way when the phone folds. If the display presses against that bar, it could put enough pressure on the screen to cause a crack.Now, I want to be clear. This is still a theory. iFixit hasn’t confirmed that the support bar caused the reported damage, and Apple hasn’t explained what’s going wrong. But it does raise questions about how well the hinge and flexible screen work together, especially when people are already reporting similar cracks just days after buying the phone.IOS 27 IS HERE: 10 IPHONE FEATURES YOU’LL WANT TO TRY NOWHere’s another detail that caught my attention. Although iFixit found that the iPhone Duo was more repairable than other foldable phones it had tested, replacing its inner display remains complicated. The company gave the device a provisional repairability score of 5 out of 10. More importantly, it reported that an out-of-warranty inner-screen repair costs $999. That’s roughly half the starting price of the phone.Fortunately, Apple says customers affected by this particular display issue should contact AppleCare for a replacement. An AppleCare+ subscription is not required to request help for the acknowledged defect. However, accidental damage and unrelated screen repairs may fall under different coverage terms. You can learn more in our guide to checking your Apple warranty and what it covers.If you recently purchased an iPhone Duo, pay attention to how the hinge feels when you open and close the device. A sudden increase in resistance or an unfamiliar popping sound deserves attention. If you notice something unusual, avoid forcing the phone open or closed. Don’t repeatedly fold it to see whether the problem happens again. If your screen develops cracks or bright lines, here are some steps worth taking.Ask about replacement availability. Some affected customers have received immediate exchanges at Apple Stores. However, replacement inventory may vary. Contact Apple before making a special trip and confirm the next steps for your particular device.The concerns go beyond cracked screens. My colleague Chris was excited to switch from his Samsung Galaxy Fold to Apple’s new iPhone Duo. But after trying it, he was so disappointed that he decided to return it to Best Buy and get an iPhone 18 Pro instead.He found the interface buggy and cumbersome, missed having Face ID and felt the cameras fell short of his expectations. He also preferred the display quality of other phones. At nearly $2,000, he simply couldn’t justify keeping it, saying, “I think the craftsmanship is phenomenal. I love the heft and the solid nature of the device, but because I’m coming from a foldable, there were so many glaring missteps that Apple made along the way, and at first they were little, but little things add up to the point where you genuinely question whether this truly was ready for prime time.”Now, Chris’s phone didn’t crack. His complaints are about the overall experience. But when someone who already enjoys using a foldable phone decides Apple’s version isn’t worth keeping, that gets my attention. I still think the Duo has some impressive features, but between these early screen problems and Chris’s experience, I’d want to try one in person before spending that kind of money.I’ve been looking forward to seeing what Apple could do with a foldable iPhone, and I still think the Duo is an impressive piece of technology. But I have to admit, these early screen failures would make me nervous about spending nearly $2,000 on one. I give Apple credit for acknowledging the problem quickly and offering replacements. That’s the right response. What I want to know now is why these screens are failing and whether Apple can prevent the same thing from happening to replacement devices. Then there’s my colleague Chris, who already knows his way around a Samsung foldable and still found Apple’s version disappointing enough to return it. That tells me Apple has some convincing to do beyond fixing the screen issue. At this price, I want a phone that feels like an upgrade, not one that makes me question what I’m giving up. For now, I’d be inclined to wait rather than rush out and buy one.If you spent nearly $2,000 on Apple’s newest iPhone and the screen cracked within days, would a free replacement restore your confidence, or would you demand your money back?
