一个名为“和平部”的黑客组织声称入侵了Okta单点登录服务，从而泄露了超过4.1万名美国国土安全部（DHS）人员的详细个人信息 1。此次泄露的数据涵盖数千名移民与海关执法局（ICE）及海关与边境保护局（CBP）特工的姓名、工作地址、电话号码以及职责描述 1。具体而言，约有21,000多人来自CBP，近6,600人来自ICE，此外还涉及数十个未知的行动代号及其所使用的技术工具，如Cellbrite和Palantir 1。该黑客组织表示，其行动旨在用“问责制取代匿名性” 1。
针对这一指控，Okta公司发言人回应称，目前没有证据表明其系统遭到入侵，并强调Okta是安全的 1。与此同时，国土安全部发言人确认知悉这一潜在的安全漏洞，并表示相关部门正在积极处理该事件 1。这是近期发生的第三起针对美国政府机构的重大网络攻击或数据泄露事件，此前上月联邦调查局（FBI）曾被ShinyHunters黑客组织入侵，近日联邦选举委员会也因疑似黑客攻击而下线 1。
此次黑客行动的诱因可能与当前美国紧张的移民执法环境有关。自特朗普于2025年重返白宫以来，美国已执行了近100万次驱逐出境，其中超过70%的对象并无犯罪记录 1。今年在ICE执法行动中发生了多起暴力事件，至少造成9人死亡，其中包括在明尼苏达州被误杀的Alex Pretti和Renee Good 1。国土安全部部长Markwayne Mullin曾于3月任职，并在7月17日表态将加大对ICE的支持力度，这一立场被视为引发此次黑客行动的背景因素之一 1。
A hacking collective known as the "Department of Peace" has leaked personal information belonging to more than 41,000 employees of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 1 The compromised data includes names, work addresses, and telephone numbers for thousands of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), with over 21,000 individuals coming from CBP and nearly 6,600 from ICE. 1 In addition to contact details, the leak revealed job descriptions, dozens of unknown operation codes, and specific technologies utilized by these agencies, such as Cellbrite and Palantir. 1
The attackers claim they accessed this information through Okta, a single sign-on service provider, asserting that their goal is to replace anonymity with accountability. 1 However, an Okta spokesperson stated that there is no evidence indicating a breach of their systems and maintained that Okta remains secure. 1 A DHS official confirmed awareness of the potential leak and indicated that authorities are actively addressing the security vulnerability. 1 This incident marks the third significant cyberattack or data leak targeting US government institutions in recent months, following an intrusion into the FBI by the ShinyHunters group last month and the temporary offline status of the Federal Election Commission due to a suspected hack. 1
Political tensions may have fueled the attack, as Secretary Markwayne Mullin publicly pledged increased support for ICE on July 17, which was viewed as a trigger for the hacking group’s actions. 1 Since Donald Trump returned to office in 2025, the United States has executed nearly one million deportations, with over 70% of those removed having no criminal record. 1 Furthermore, multiple violent incidents during ICE enforcement operations this year have resulted in at least nine deaths, including Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were killed in Minnesota. 1
