Friday, AntiSec continued their private war with law enforcement by releasing a staggering amount of information on law enforcement agencies across the country. AntiSec claims the recent leaks and dumps are made in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement and motivated by a desire to retaliate against police for perceived acts of police brutality.
AntiSec is a notorious Internet hacktivist collective affiliated with another equally notorious Internet hacktivist collective known as Anonymous.
In two separate announcements AntiSec hacktivists released compromising information taken from various law enforcement agencies from across the country, including agencies located in California, Boston and Alabama.
In one announcement AntiSec claimed credit for hacking and defacing the International Association of Chiefs of Police and 40 other police domains, “leaking over 600MB of private information including internal documents, membership rosters, addresses, passwords, social security numbers, and other confidential data.”
In another announcement AntiSec released 38,000 private emails belonging to Fred Baclagan, a former Special Agent Supervisor of the California Department of Justice who oversaw computer crime investigations. The released emails include "detailed computer forensics techniques, investigation protocols as well as highly embarrassing personal information."
The following are excerpts from the two releases:
Greetings Pirates, and welcome to another exciting #FuckFBIFriday release.As part of our ongoing effort to expose and humiliate our white hat enemies, we
targeted a Special Agent Supervisor of the CA Department of Justice in charge of
computer crime investigations. We are leaking over 38,000 private emails which
contain detailed computer forensics techniques, investigation protocols as well
as highly embarrassing personal information. We are confident these gifts will
bring smiles to the faces of our black hat brothers and sisters (especially
those who have been targeted by these scurvy dogs) while also making a mockery
of "security professionals" who whore their "skills" to law enforcement to
protect tyrannical corporatism and the status quo we aim to destroy.Hackers, join us and rise up against our common oppressors - the white hats, the
1%'s 'private' police, the corrupt banks and corporations and make 2011 the year
of leaks and revolutions!We are Anti-Security,
We are the 99%
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect Us!
And
In solidarity with the Occupation Movement and the International Day of Action
Against Police Brutality, allied #anonymous and #antisec vessels took aim at the
corrupt bootboys of the 1%: the police. We hacked, defaced, and destroyed
several law enforcement targets, leaking over 600MB of private information
including internal documents, membership rosters, addresses, passwords, social
security numbers, and other confidential data. According to the IACP\\\'s
development documents, their systems cost several hundred thousand dollars. We are pleased to destroy it all for free, leaking their private info and defacing
their websites in one swift blow.Our lulzboats also took aim at Boston Police in retaliation for the unprovoked
mass arrests and brutality experienced by those at Occupy Boston. We hacked the Boston Police Patrolmens\\\' Association (www.bppa.org), releasing full names and the cleartext, user-supplied passwords for a thousand members. Many lulz have been had while perusing their emails and facebook accounts, and we are now sharing their passwords for others so they can join in on the mayhem as well.We also decided to attack Alabama law enforcement systems, releasing the names, addresses, and social security numbers for 1000 Birmingham / Jefferson County police officers as well as defacing and destroying the website SherrifOfBaldwin.com. We are attacking Birmingham specifically because of their notorious racial discriminatory practices including the savage beatings and mass arrests endured by civil rights protesters during the 60s.We are also acting in solidarity with the dozens of alleged \\\"Anonymous\\\" members around the world facing charges for \\\"hacking,\\\" including the Paypal LOIC defendants in San Jose, Commander X, Recursion, Topiary, Stephen Watt, and more.We are attacking the police because they are the vicious boot boys of the 1%
whose role in society is to protect the interests and assets of the rich ruling
class. They are not part of the 99%-- they are working class traitors who are
paid to intimidate, harass, and repress political movements that would possibly
stand a threat to the power structure of the 1%. We have no problem targeting
police and releasing their information even if it puts them at risk because we
want them to experience just a taste of the brutality and misery they serve us
on an everyday basis.We are 99%. We are the working class that makes society function. We are not
intimidated by the States attempts to disrupt our resistance through unprovoked
arrests and harassments. As the violence of the cops, the courts, the FBI, La
Migra, and Homeland Security intensifies, so must our resistance: we will
continue to bring the ruckus on the streets and on the internet. We are
believers and practitioners of direct action against all governments,
militaries, banks, corporations, and police working towards our revolutionary
goal: the immediate dissolution of capitalism and the state.Hackers, join us to make 2011 the year of leaks and revolutions!
