LulzSec strikes again, right in my very own state. I was surprised to see this wasn't diaried, considering all the techies here.
Hacking group Lulz Security has released a torrent of documents stolen from the Arizona Department of Public Safety in what it says will be the first release of information accumulated as part of "Operation Anti-Security," a campaign to hack, disrupt, and embarrass law enforcement agencies and private security contractors. LulzSec claims that it targeted Arizona law enforcement in response to Arizona's controversial anti-immigration law, saying that it opposes the law itself, and "the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona."
Read their message below the fold.
### CHINGA LA MIGRA BULLETIN #1 6/23/2011 ###
We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.
The documents classified as “law enforcement sensitive”, “not for public distribution”, and “for official use only” are primarily related to border patrol and counter-terrorism operations and describe the use of informants to infiltrate various gangs, cartels, motorcycle clubs, Nazi groups, and protest movements.
Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarrassing personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust “war on drugs”.
Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors – the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world.
See you again real soon! ;D
