A public Quizlet flashcard set appears to have leaked confidential security codes for US Customs and Border Protection facilities in Texas, including gate and door access codes. The set was made private after media inquiries, and CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility is reviewing the incident. If confirmed as a breach by personnel, it represents a serious security failure for the homeland security agency.
Background
CBP (US Customs and Border Protection) is a federal law enforcement agency under DHS responsible for border security. Quizlet is a popular online platform where users create study materials including flashcards, which can be set to public or private visibility.
