🏆 New Achievement! Herd of 41,000 Spotted in the Open!

And here, in its natural habitat, we observe the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — an organism responsible for securing the nation's borders — apparently failing to secure its own personnel data. The details of some 41,000 DHS officials have been exposed in what researchers are calling a massive breach. Remarkable. The very agency tasked with knowing where everyone else is has, it seems, lost track of itself. (1/2)

David Attenborough would weep. The exposed herd did not scatter; it simply stood there, visible to all. Threat actors and attribution remain unconfirmed, but the damage to 41,000 individuals appears quite confirmed indeed.

Reward: You've received a Commemorative Dossier — unfortunately, so has everyone else.
