Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters—one of the latest amalgamations of typically young, reckless, and English-speaking hackers—posted the apparent phone numbers and addresses of hundreds of government officials, including nearly 700 from DHS.
Dox my ass. Public officials being identified shouldn’t be controversial. We pay them. We deserve to know who they are so we can do something when they act like Nazis.
I’m a government official and people can walk in the building and demand to see my text messages and emails, and I have to hand them over (with reasonable, well-defined reactions categories like social security numbers, home addresses of certain officials and citizens, etc).
And that’s a good thing.
I’m not gonna say I enjoy Open Records Requests, but that’s mostly because it’s a pain in the ass redacting shit, and I recently had to do a TON because a very high-profile person had interactions with the city and every journalism outlet in the country submitted slightly different requests thay required me having to do reactions on about 10,000 pages of documents despite the requests only covering about 30 emails between them.
But it’s a pain I’m willing to put up with to maintain transparency.
Twice you got autocorrected from reactions to reactions, and the idea of doing reactions (as in reactions videos) on 10,000 pages of documents does sound like a pain in the ass.
There’s a lot of free and public ways to do this today. It’s just a question of property ownership. Property needs to be appraised yearly for tax consideration. If there was a website or something similar that provided the same function, man… I’d bet it’s vulnerable.

Hell as a state employee you can look up my title, how long I’ve been employed, salary, etc. Should be the exact same for feds.
Same here, I just want equal treatment for them
I’m not sure what is obfuscated for officer safety or whatever but there’s sites like this that have basically federal employee.
