Overview
- Multiple spreadsheets shared in private Telegram channels listed about 680 DHS officials, more than 170 FBI email owners, and over 190 DOJ officials.
- The files included names, government email addresses, phone numbers, and apparent residential addresses, according to reporters who reviewed them.
- The posters used the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters name and are linked to a loose-knit community known as the Com with ties to prior high-profile breaches.
- Channel messages taunted authorities and threatened an additional dump targeting IRS personnel, referencing an unsubstantiated claim about cartel bounties for doxing.
- DHS, the FBI, and the Justice Department have not commented as investigators assess whether the dataset stems from a new intrusion or an aggregation of earlier leaks.
