DHS's Office of Industry Partnership was hacked by a group called "Department of Peace" and info about ICE contracts with over 6,000 companies is now published on @ddosecrets.org!

Just adding something I noticed: these grants and contract are part of DHS' Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) program:
The Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (LRBAA) is a standing, open invitation to the scientific and technical communities to fund pioneering research and development (R&D) projects in support of our nation’s security.
That doesn't answer your question, though.
@iampytest1 Yeah, looking at the contract, it seems more InfoSec research related for DHS during Biden era.

@micahflee@infosec.exchange Uhhh... looks like DHS may have had their contracts system get popped during a penetration test in 2025?
[Edit: LOL]

@manchicken @micahflee looks like it was from the DHS overall (not ICE specifically), lasted from 2017-2018, and the funds were used to improve the security of OSS in general. Unless I’m missing more context, not exactly a bad thing imo
@phillip @manchicken @micahflee Probably from CISA, which is under DHS for some reason.

@micahflee Well well well, move over WikiLeaks! -
I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state https://micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/
@micahflee this is awesome!

[Edit: LOL]@julie @micahflee that means they were probably aware of the vulnerability that allowed this leak to happen… and then they didn't fix it (nor did they remove the data that the pentesters injected into their production database, apparently!)

@micahflee I cannot help but notice the "Contractors" file is about three times the size of the "Contracts" file.

@micahflee
Anyone got the geeks to set up a bot that posts the names of 10 of the companies once every 12 hours?
#ICEContractor #ICEComplicit@skua @micahflee Maybe every hour?

@skua @micahflee Maybe every hour?
@dalias
Forking Reply"Frequency of bot posts" - ideally something that could be swapped over to "User selected frequency of receiving posts by a bot".
For me, if I checked my notifications after 2 days away from Mastodon and found 48 posts by a bot I'd unFollow.
But really I have no idea where a sweet spot might be found.

@skua Posts go in your home feed not notifications.

@dalias
You're right.
And on my home feed I'm choosing to unFollow some accounts as I want a Home feed that moves pretty slowly - ideally slowly enough that I "often" get to see posts by my most favourite accounts.Thinking multiple bots could work.

FYI - some of the more perplexing names on this list:
The Linux Foundation
National Public Radio, Inc. -
@micahflee The Linux Foundation got half a million dollars from ICE contracts.
@manchicken @micahflee it looks like that started in 2014 and ended in 2018?
if i'm reading the dataset correctly. Still not a good look -
@vwbusguy @manchicken @micahflee No, the DHS does not have a voting seat with the Linux Foundation. The CII Steering Group is a sub-project of the Linux foundation that accepts monetary donations, then doles them out to open source projects in need.
So the DHS has (or had maybe?) a voting seat to give them a say in how their donations are spent.
@phillip sure that's correct and the best type of correct. Broadly it's true that donors with money always have some kind of vote

@micahflee I find this scrolling visible between floating menus quite irritating.

@micahflee Oh, I see this is from all of DHS, not just ICE, and also that it includes contracts which ended years ago. That's good to be aware of. I actually worked on part of this one contract, over a decade ago, and it was purely about improving cybersecurity for people's smartphones; it had nothing to do with immigration. https://micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/?state=OR&modalType=contract&modalAwardId=937
