Hacker group posts hundreds of law enforcement officer records
The Associated Press counted at least 1,400 unique records of employees of the FBI, Secret Service, Capitol Police, U.S. Park Police and other federal agencies as well as police and sheriffs' deputies in North Carolina and Florida. The records included home addresses and phone numbers, emails and employers' names.
The FBI National Academy Associates said in a statement that the information, posted late Thursday, appears to come from the websites of three local chapters of the nonprofit, which claims nearly 17,000 members nationwide and in 174 countries.The group said its national database was unaffected. It said the three affected chapters were using third-party software but said it was"too early to determine if this impacted the breach.
"If it is determined that there has been felonious activity, we well prosecute the culprits to the fullest extent of the law," said the group, which is based in Quantico, Virginia, home to the academy. The AP is not identifying the hackers' website. A linked Twitter account says the group is based in Ukraine.
