AS15147 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY - Omniscient - Dec 2, 2014
I guess DHS has it's own IP assignment from IANA.
AS15147 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
I just came across a couple accounts. I wonder what they do here? One is an actual active member with benign activity that's been here around 5 years.
And no, I won't expose them. Not my place to give out personal info of members. I just thought it interesting we have DHS on HF but it doesn't really surprise me.

Seems that HF is either a place to hunt suspects or a place for their workers to procrastinate in the Lounge... I hope it's the second one, that would be hilarious.

Shoutouts to my boy Haydrazs for being a DHS worker.

I would assume that for LE/DHS/CIA/FBI HF is just the best place for knowledge about what's happening as any other source. No one should be shocked by that.

How can a public obvious place be a honeypot? That's like saying Facebook is using your private info for money...SHOCKER! HF can only expose what you're stupid enough to expose. We're a public forum.

Now would be a great time to start allowing carding on the site!

I think they just want to monitor to see if anyone is trying to attack the US's cyber security. Cyber attacks really mess with the psychology of a country so Im assuming its for "security reasons" either that or just bored at work

This shouldn't be a problem for anyone has long as no-one confesses cyber crimes here

Omni, I think everyone has always known there's been those people on here.
* - Jamie - Dec 2, 2014
Well it's obvious there's going to be feds/security people on this forum. Not just to check on malicious activity but maybe to check if anything is being sold here that may be stolen. Like Omni said, anything you say/do on this forums EVERYONE has the rights to view. So it's your own fault if you get into trouble.

I guess the occasional member getting arrested and charged with serious offenses justifies having this place monitored. I can understand why that happens from a LEA point of view.

Omni what if they are investigating YOU?!
Maybe you are on the most wanted list?!

That's insane. I guess they monitor a lot of forums like this...

I am willing to bet 4 toes that this guy is a federal agent.
