Government Job Seekers’ PII Exposed in House Democrats Resume Bank’s Data Breach

The Safety Detectives team has discovered an unprotected database containing approximately 7,000 records linked to DomeWatch, the U.S. House Democrats’ official online resume bank.

The exposed data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, security clearance levels, political affiliations, congressional experience, and more. 

Among the records, 469 individuals were listed with “top secret” federal security clearance, and over 4,000 indicated prior congressional experience.

This kind of exposure poses significant privacy and security risks, including potential identity theft, phishing, and social engineering targeting individuals connected to U.S. government operations.
