Anonymous, the world’s most famous hacktivist coalition, has attacked Texas law enforcement, specifically the higher-ups at the Texas Police Chiefs Association.
Dubbed operation “Texas Takedown Thursday,” the group defaced the texaspolicechiefs.org and exposed the slew of private email communications between members of various state police departments.
Yesterday evening, Anonymous tweeted about their exploits, announcing the website defacement as well as linked to a release on the operation.
They give multiple reasons for the attack – first, as a retaliation for arrests of alleged Anonymous suspects all over the world. Second, “Ch*nga La Migra,” as they take issue with Texas law enforcment continuing to “harass immigrants and use border patrol operations as a cover for their backwards racist prejudice.”
Also:
"We are doing this in solidarity with the “Anonymous 16″ PayPal LOIC defendants,
accused LulzSec member Jake Davis “Topiary”, protesters arrested during #OpBart
actions, Bradley Manning, Stephen Watt, and other hackers and leakers worldwide."
A little later, they announced the pastebin leak of the alleged emails: You can see the e-mails at this link - but warning - they contain explicit language.
According to AnonymousIRC, the texaspolicechiefs.org site was defaced for over 3 hours before it was restored. Apparently, it was defaced again.
