Assessment of Blue Leaks data

I'm former command staff at a major southern US municipal police department. I found quite a lot of documents from them. Here's my assessment:

This was not a high-level penetration, at least of my old agency (only one I looked at because I would recognize highly confidential documents from less protected ones). While the documents did contain some sensitive information, I did not see drafts of investigative reports, interrogation details and other documents I will not name which would have had a deeper development of information related to investigations, techniques and procedures.

Most of the documents appear to be drafts of training flyers, some low level departmental information such as FOUO situation reports from the NC Fusion Center and others, as well as some summary write ups by task force officers to the Federal agencies to which they're assigned. Most of that info you can get in press releases.

I did see desk phone and email lists, stupidly.

And that leads me to believe that the information I'm looking at, at least for my old agency, was sucked from C drives on various computers.

''If I had to bet money, knowing how the city government where I worked at is structured, I would say it's very likely someone in the city's IT department remoted into a number of C drives and copied them.

I didn't see any information that came from dedicated LE database storage. FWIW.

I question whether you even understand what I just said.

Almost every law enforcment agency has networks within its network. The city government owns the police network and has access to SOME of it. However, under Federal and state laws - depending on where you live - there are some networks that typical city IT department employees (i.e., not with the police department).

The hack penetrated what the city IT department can play with. It didn't get inside the highly confidential databases with criminal reports, etc.

Snowden's keys wouldn't have fuck-all to do with that. However, that doesn't matter as back in 2014 the NCIS tied pretty much every police department on the east coast together through a data-mining program run by Northrup Grumman.

If the boys at NSA wanna get into shit, I'm pretty sure they don't need to ask. But they wouldn't bother us, they'd just take all the info from Northrup Grumman.

You're welcome. I'm not speaking for any department but the one I work for. Everyone thinks there is one giant database with info in it at the state level for every state.

There isn't. There's literally hundreds of local, county and state databases. It's the most disorganized clusterfuck you've ever seen in your life. It's a miracle that police can even figure out if someone has previously been arrested in their own home state. Forget about crossing state lines, that's usually still done by phone calls to other agencies.

Correction - "worked for". Been out of that game for a few years and do not miss it a bit.
