First of all, I’m going to provide a disclaimer here which is simply that I cannot confirm the legitimacy of any of the content herein.
On a personal note, the prior dumps from Anonymous hacks have all appeared to be legit, so in following that course… you decide. I am simply sharing the news.
Although they had a hand in starting the Occupy Wall Street protest, the hacktivist collective Anonymous has been pretty quiet since it started. No longer: Anonymous claims they just hacked a ton of police sites and leaked usernames and passwords.
The biggest target of today’s hack was the International Association of Chiefs of Police, whose website is still down as of this writing. It’s auspicious timing, as the IACP is holding its annual meeting in Chicago.
A press release by Anonymous said that the hack was timed to the IACP meeting as part of a “Day of Action Against Police Brutality.”
