DDoSecrets later said a registrar took down the original domain for Icepick’s searchable site and that the search tool had moved elsewhere. DDoSecrets published the archive on October 28, 2026, describing it as a database of more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employee records.
What the archive was reported to contain
DDoSecrets described records with employee names, offices, contact information and assignments. WIRED reported work contact details and references to internal systems and undercover and surveillance operations.
DDoSecrets attributed the data to the Department of Peace and said it came from a DHS Okta single sign-on service, which lets users access multiple services through one login. DHS said it was aware of a potential breach and was working to address it. Okta said it had no evidence that its own systems or data were compromised.
Published estimates for ICE records differ
WIRED and NPR reported about 10,000 ICE records. The BBC reported nearly 6,600 ICE personnel, while The Verge reported nearly 7,000 ICE staff. The reports use different terms for the figures: records, personnel and staff.
