NATO suspects security breach in its e-Booksho.Hacker group Lulz Security (LulzSec) has reportedly breached the networks of Arizona police website on Thursday.
According to a Reuters report, the group has released dozens of internal documents from the website over the Internet, in protest of tough anti-immigration law in Arizona. Lulz Security titled the leak as "Chinga La Migra," which in Spansih roughly means "Screw the Immigration Service." The report said that LulzSec has leaked about a half GB of data, including account names, passwords and contact information.
A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety Steve Harrison told Reuters that the department was probing the matter. Harrison said, "We are aware of computer issues." "We're looking into it. And of course we're taking additional security safeguards."
LulzSec has previously claimed responsibility for several hack attacks including a US Senate website, Sonypictures.com and a CIA website as well. Recently, LulzSec said that the group along with online hacktivist group Anonymous would target government agencies in their war against efforts to regulate the Internet.
Earlier this month, the Spansih police claimed that it had arrested three 'leaders' of the group, which was denied by LulzSec. This week the UK police with the help of the FBI have detained a teenager in connection to the hack attacks by LulzSec. But LulzSec claims that it does not have a centralised structure. Its members are said to be in different countries across the world.
According to another Reuters report, the NATO suspects that one of its websites was hacked by cyber criminals. The organisation has added that the server that was breached did not contain any classified data. A NATO statement said, "NATO'S e-Bookshop is a separate service for the public for the release of NATO information and does not contain any classified data."
