The Elgin-based Texas Police Chiefs Association found itself the
target of the hacker group Anonymous on Thursday after its website was
attacked and emails said to be from some of its members' were leaked
online.
The group took down the association's website and posted a
screed that said its actions were retaliation against law enforcement
for arresting Anonymous members in connection with other hacking
incidents. They called the attack "Texas Takedown Thursday" and posted
scores of account passwords and emails from police officials and
association members across Texas.
Anonymous said some of the work
and personal emails the group posted include messages with foul
language, anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant jokes, racial slurs, lewd
photographs, details of officers having affairs with residents' wives,
and law enforcement documents, such as training manuals, police rosters
and search warrants.
