Anonymous Retaliates, Leaks Texas Police Emails

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 2, 2011 @01:26AM from the messing-with-texas dept.

An anonymous reader sends word that hacking group Anonymous has breached servers and accounts belonging to "dozens" of Texas police departments, leaking emails, documents and personal information. They say the attacks are in retaliation for "the arrests of dozens of alleged Anonymous suspects," and were done 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." Predictably, some of the leaked emails paint an unflattering picture of internal operations at the police departments.

Speak for yourself, geek. Crimes are what government deems illegal, not what is morally right or wrong. Some (not you, clearly) prefer to re-evaluate and challenge the integrity and sense behind laws, especially those that do more harm than good.
