Hackers publish private information about L.A. police officers

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Dissent

Andrew Blankstein reports:

The FBI is probing an Internet breach in which hackers publicly posted private information belonging to more than 100 local law enforcement officers who are part of the Los Angeles County Police Canine Assn.

Tony Vairo, a San Fernando police officer, who is president of the group, told The Times that they were contacted by the FBI Tuesday morning informing them that information belonging to its members, who include the Los Angeles police and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies, had been compromised.

“I’m appalled that our website was breached,” Vairo said. “It’s not right and we will pursue it [a case] on every level, state or federal.”
