A hacker, who wishes to remain anonymous, plans to dump the apparent names, job titles, email addresses and phone numbers of over 20,000 supposed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees, as well as over 9,000 alleged Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees, Motherboard has learned.
The hacker also claims to have downloaded hundreds of gigabytes of data from a Department of Justice (DOJ) computer, although that data has not been published.
On Sunday, Motherboard obtained the supposedly soon-to-be-leaked data and called a large selection of random numbers in both the DHS and FBI databases. Many of the calls went through to their respective voicemail boxes, and the names for their supposed owners matched with those in the database. At one point, Motherboard reached the operations center of the FBI, according to the person on the other end.
One alleged FBI intelligence analyst did pick up the phone, and identified herself as the same name as listed in the database. A DHS employee did the same, but did not feel comfortable confirming his job title, he said.

Buy your book here. Is it time to feed the pigs?
The release of this data could not happen to a better more deserving group. It would show that FBI/DHS, no longer have a monopoly on file making and sneaky intelligence gathering. If the scum bags suffer pain because of this release, so much the better.
Insert applause here!!
If government spies on us well then…
“Unintended Consequences”, now there is a book title I’ve not seen in some time. Still have my signed copy but it has been a while.
Great book and I highly recommend it.
