CBP facility codes leaked via online flashcards
Ars Technica·
Confidential security information for U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities, including gate codes and operational details, was reportedly exposed through a public Quizlet flashcard set. The set, titled 'USBP Review,' contained specific four-digit codes for checkpoint doors and gates, along with details on immigration offenses and agency organizational systems. While the flashcard set was made private after being flagged, CBP has launched an internal review into the potential security breach. This incident raises concerns about data security within the agency, especially amid ongoing recruitment efforts offering significant incentives to new agents.
