Hackers expose the identities of more than 40k DHS employees

More from text.npr.org →

NPR text-only article reporting that a hacktivist group breached DHS personnel files, exposing identities of over 40,000 employees, with data published by DDoSecrets.

What HN thinks

A thread about a massive government doxx that mostly fell in love with a text-only news page.

Lightweight text news sites are great
The top thread praises text.npr.org for loading instantly with no clutter or endless scrolling, and swaps similar lite news sites.
Exposure is deserved accountability
Several commenters compare ICE to the Stasi, value the leak as an archive, and feel some satisfaction that agents get a taste of their own medicine.
It's still crime and doxxing
Others object to praising a hack because it suits one side, note that the group's denials of doxxing don't hold up, and find the 'Department of Peace' name ironic.

Consensus: There is broad agreement that text-only news sites like text.npr.org are a pleasure to use. On the leak itself there is no consensus.
