Names and addresses of 25,000 police officers published by Anonymous cell
Police officers are once again finding their names, dates of birth and home addresses have been published on the web. Meanwhile, over half a million customers of a health insurance company have their personal data put at risk. It's a bad week for data security in Austria.
Almost 25,000 Austrian police officers are the latest to have their personal information exposed by the actions of Anonymous activists.
What is a cause for concern, of course, is that there is clearly the potential for officers - and indeed their families - to be targeted by vengeful criminals when data like this enters the public domain. A group calling itself AnonAustria published a link to the data via its Twitter account earlier this week.
