Anonymous Leaks Data From Hacked Law Enforcement Agencies

In support for the Wall Street movement and as a form of retaliation against police brutality, the infamous hacktivits group attacked the websites of multiple law enforcement agencies and leaked tons of sensitive data of Pastebin.

Pastebin quickly moved to remove the posts, probably to clean itself of the “hacker's paradise” reputation they've earned recently, but one file still remains. The published information contains the mail credentials belonging to Boston Police Patrolmans' Association (BPPA) staff.

According to Wired, other agencies were hit, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Baldwin County Sheriff’s office in Alabama. They not only leaked data, but also defaced websites to prove their deeds to the world. The BPPA's currently repaired site has a big red note in the events page that reads “Please Note: Starting Monday October 17th 2011 all Users who access the secure section of the site will have to re-register for a NEW Username and Password.”
