Anonymous hits BART a second time, releases personal info
Hackers launched another online attack Wednesday against a California transit agency that found itself in the middle of a debate about free speech after it turned off cellphone service in its stations last week to thwart a potential protest.
This time, hackers gained access to the website of the union that represents Bay Area Rapid Transit police and posted personal information on more than 100 officers.
The officers' home and email addresses were leaked along with their passwords. BART Police Deputy Chief Daniel Hartwig said his office had been made aware of the breach and referred inquiries to the BART Police Officers Association. Union president Jesse Sekhon didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
