An anonymous hacker has released the details of 20,000 FBI employees and 9,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel online.
The so-called cybercriminal had earlier threatened to take the measure, Motherboard, which had received a copy of the data, reported Monday.
“Long Live Palestine, Long Live Gaza,“ reads a message at the top of the dump, which also included the hashtag “#FreePalestine.“
The hacker, who claims s/he obtained the data from the US Department of Justice computers, initially released details of DHS personnel and later those of FBI agents.
US officials have downplayed the role of the breach.
