The target: United States Customs and Border Security Protection, the largest federal law enforcement agency of the US Department of Homeland Security.
The take: Photos of the faces and license plates of almost 100,000 travellers to have entered and exited the US via a single (unnamed) land border entry port.
The attack vector: A ‘malicious cyberattack’ against federal contractor ‘Perceptics’ led to the images being made available on the dark web, along with other proprietary information.
