LulzSec's Latest Lark Targets Ariz. Cops

Friday, July 1, 2011

Hacker community LulzSec has revealed it's broken into the Arizona law enforcement agency's servers and released hundreds of sensitive documents on the Internet.

"We are targeting AZDPS [the Arizona Department of Public Safety] specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona," LulzSec stated.

The highly controversial Arizona Senate Bill 1070 targets illegal immigrants and has drawn protests both within Arizona and outside of the state.

Arizona and the federal government are fighting a legal battle over the bill.

The documents LulzSec released on the Internet include the names and contact information of seven ADPS officials. Three of these have also had their home addresses and phone numbers released, and information about the wife of one of the three was also displayed on the Web.

Other sensitive documents released included some on counter surveillance as well as intelligence on Mexican gangs and on drug trafficking.

Arizona officials did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
