And you thought the Lulz Boat had sailed. The Anonymous collective on Wednesday released a new batch of data stolen from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, which includes everything from Social Security numbers to voicemails.
The data file released by Anonymous includes "names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, social security numbers, online dating account info, voicemails, chat logs, and seductive girlfriend pictures belonging to a dozen Arizona police officers," the group said via its @AnonymousIRC Twitter feed.
The drop, dubbed Chinga Le Migra Communique Dos, was completed in the name of Operation Anti-Security (AntiSec), a joint effort between Anonymous and the now-defunct LulzSec.
"In our first bulletin we dumped a treasure trove of secret law enforcement documents," Anonymous said. "In this second bulletin, we're dumping booty pirated from a dozen Arizona police officer's personal email accounts looking specifically for humiliating dirt."
Last week, before it announced plans to disband, LulzSec released "hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses, and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement," prompting concern that the information would put undercover law enforcement officers in jeopardy. LulzSec said it hacked the agency "because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona."
SB1070 is a controversial Arizona bill signed into law on April 23 intended to crack down on illegal immigration in the area.
In a Monday statement, the Arizona DPS acknowledged that its email system had been breached, but said data relating to ongoing investigations or other sensitive matters were not compromised. In a Wednesday statement about the most recent attack, the DPS said "these intrusions have in no way affected public safety, or the ability of the agency to conduct its mission."
"Law enforcement agencies are working to identify the source of the cyber-attack and have initiated a joint criminal investigation," the agency continued.
Anonymous claims that this latest data includes "more internal police reports, cops forwarding racist chain emails, k9 drug unit cops who use percocets, and a convicted sex offender who was part of FOP Maricopa Lodge Five."
The group also hits back at a department spokesman for boasting about its security upgrade plans. "Clearly not secure enough, because we owned his personal hotmail, facebook and match.com accounts and dumped all his personal details for the world to see," Anonymous said.
The group acknowledged that their actions might put Arizona officers at risk, but did not seem to care. "We are making sure they experience just a taste of the same kind of violence and terror they dish out on an every day basis," Anonymous said. "Our advice to you is to quit while you still can and turn on your commanding officers before you end up in our cross hairs next, because we're not stopping until every prisoner is freed and every prison is burned to the ground."
In closing, the group urged other hackers to join the AntiSec movement and go after governments they believe to be corrupt.
