>Hackers Unveil Sensitive Data from 200 U.S. Police Departments
From this article
“BlueLeaks.”
Business Insider reports that hackers have recently breached the security of a Houston-based web-service provider called Netsential, which works with state law-enforcement agencies in the U.S.
This breach has led to the disclosure of hundreds of gigabytes of potentially sensitive files from various U.S. police departments. The leaked data, made available in a searchable database, includes information that can be sorted by officers’ badge numbers. The files were hosted by fusion centers and state agencies that facilitate information sharing among police departments and were stolen in the security breach.
It’s worth noting that the leaked files do not reveal any significant police misconduct, instead, they primarily consist of emails and internal memos that show how police departments and the FBI have monitored protests across the U.S., especially those that followed the death of George Floyd. /moar
