“I want my MONEY MEXICO,” a user of the Scattered LAPSUS$ Hunters Telegram channel, which is a combination of a series of other hacking group names associated with the Com, posted on Thursday. The message was referencing a claim from the DHS that Mexican cartels have begun offering thousands of dollars for doxing agents. The U.S. government has not provided any evidence for this claim.

404 Media reviewed multiple spreadsheets posted in the group’s Telegram channel. One contained the alleged personal information of 680 DHS officials; another contained data on more than 170 FBI email addresses and their owners; and the third contained the apparent personal information of more than 190 Department of Justice officials.

It's a scary day when the cartels are defending our democracy more effectively than the government

Unfortunately that's an unsubstantiated claim from the Trump administration.

Lol. LMFAO even.

Why they don't also go after the very shits who put up the idea of making Trump to run for president?

Aww. Shucks. A darn shame.

It would be so super duper disappointing if the docs were publically available for everyone to read. Gosh golly.

I've searched far and wide and cannot find a place to actually acquire this data.

I'm beginning to think it doesn't actually exist. Prove me wrong, for a friend.

[-] MTZ@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Lots of people say that the entire data dump can be found in a telegram channel that is run by the hacking group. That's just what I hear, but I've heard it quite a bit.

[-] AlecSadler 5 points 6 days ago

I'm just surprised it hasn't popped up in torrent or usenet form as far as I can tell.

[-] Sarothazrom@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Second this 🗿

[-] fistac0rpse@fedia.io 54 points 1 week ago

who wants to place bets that this will lead to trying to ban Telegram and other (better) encrypted messaging services?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It required a real phone number last time I checked. Looks more like a honeypot to me.

[-] RepleteLocum 2 points 6 days ago

Telegram is bad. Only pedos and drugs/weapons traffickers use it. It is t even secure.

[-] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

Perhaps if these high profile people use it, it must be worth using? Fuck those people but there has to be a legit reason you'd think.

Wasnt it that group chats arent by default and personal can be?

Besides that, who holds the keys? If they are in the posession of telegram itself it's pretty moot, no?

[-] jve@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Not sure what’s changed in the meantime, but per the article I linked, group chats aren’t, personal chats can be, but aren’t by default, and are buried in the Ui.

Also they use some non standard crypto for some reason.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Seems to align with my memory. Looks solid enough.

Good enough to me as a notification platform, not good for actual chats.

[-] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 6 days ago

Personal chats cannot be in a lot of cases. Like on desktop, except for macOS for some stupid fucking reason.

Every last Nazi should go to prison when this is over.

[-] _AutumnMoon_ 4 points 6 days ago

prison is not a harsh enough punishment for being a nazi

[-] Landslide7648@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago

They should, but that won’t happen. If we’re lucky, there will be some sort of reconciliation process. Most likely a few people will lose their jobs, if even. I don’t have high hopes for a quick recovery of democracy the US, the dismantling has been going on for too long.

Fuck that. A little people's justice goes a long way. And I want a lot of people's justice.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Good. Fuck em.
