Anonymous Slovenia Claims To Have Hacked the FBI and Posted Emails To Pastebin

concertina226 writes "The information, posted by user Black-Shadow of the Slovenian branch of the hacktivist group, purportedly contains FBI domain email addresses and passwords for 68 agents, although the user claims in his post that the collected log-in details are 'not all ours'. The post also includes a short profile on FBI director James Brien Comey Jr, including sensitive information such as his date of birth, his wife's name, the date they got married, his educational history and even the geographical coordinates of his residence."

Re:Sensitive information?

You might be less inclined to think so if that information were provided to people who might want to kill you.

If it's public information, the government provides it to everyone.

If it's from a social networking site (like LinkedIn), the individual themselves provided it.

And, of course, that applies to people of all professions.

(as is more common for people in law enforcement than others)

Yea, I hear that line of BS from LEOs a lot, but honestly I've never seen a situation where a LEO was stalked/killed based on publicly accessible info, because they were a LEO.

Much the contrary, LEOs use non-public databases to stalk/kill ex-lovers, people who cut them off in traffic, etc.
