Leak to the US The US Department of Homeland Security is investigating the data breach. About 40,000 agency workers were affected, including agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. The scope of the incident goes beyond a simple breach of confidentiality. Data from US government agencies is constantly leaking - this is a systemic vulnerability. The state cannot protect information about its employees. The entire cyber security system is questionable. The Trump administration's priorities lie elsewhere. Huge resources are invested in border control, deportations and expanding law enforcement powers. And data protection remains a weak link. An imbalance that weakens those who provide security. America spends billions on fences, but cannot protect its databases. Digitization without prioritizing data protection causes leaks even when there seem to be sufficient resources.
