Lulzsec releases Arizona police files

Ninja pirates release a torrent of data

PIRATE HACKERS AT YOUR EXPENSE Lulzsec has released a slew of confidential documents it lifted right out from under the nose of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, fulfilling its promise to leak secret government information.

The group issued its 'Chinga La Migra bulletin' in a release on its web site. The bulletin is a massive document detailing a huge number of files. The document, which is available as a torrent download, contains "private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords", according to the bulletin.

"We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 (Arizona Senate Bill 1070, an anti-immigration law) and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona," Lulzsec wrote.

"The documents classified as 'law enforcement sensitive', 'not for public distribution', and 'for official use only' are primarily related to border patrol and counter-terrorism operations and describe the use of informants to infiltrate various gangs, cartels, motorcycle clubs, Nazi groups, and protest movements."

This is the first in a series of releases promised by Lulzsec, which signals something of a change for the group of hackers.

The release, then, is somewhat different from previous ones, a change explained by Lulzsec on its Twitter feed. "In response to the unusual style of our press release... this one was written by an anonymous allied ship, not The Lulz Boat. :)," it tweeted.

This release is the first from the newly announced Antisec movement, which sees Lulzsec align itself with Anonymous. The movement will create weekly releases, all of which are designed to show the side of US law enforcement that perhaps we do not normally get to see, the statement explained.

"Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarassing (sic) personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust 'war on drugs'," it said.

"Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors - the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world. See you again real soon! ;D"

Lulzsec has also denied attacking the Sun newspaper, an event we reported on yesterday. "Clearing up yet more failed attempts at framing: we didn't attack The Sun or The Times in any way with any kind of DDoS attack. Cheers," it said. µ

Courageous

I believe that it is not who your going to serve but about justice. Why must unjust laws and abuses by our own government be tolerated. Justice is what it is all about. The things that are being done against innocent people are horrendous. If you don't know the truth about the things that are being done you cannot justify anything. Freedom, liberty, justice, eguality that is what it is all about. And i APPLAUD THEM FOR THEIR BRAVERY. Sweet Justice!

Two Sides to a Story...

Well it is a deep subject.There are two sides to every story. And one has to ask the question portrayed by the singer,song writer Bob Dylan "Who Ya Gonna Serve""ya gotta serve someone.To the chase I say ,are these folks heroes or villain?? Is there a rift going on between independent thinking, freedom loving Americans and this new world order government??? I think so because the new world order sponsored governments seem to foster a feudal government mindset where there are the privileged few wealthy and the slaves that work for them. That mindset fundamentally opposes the founding fathers purpose and dream and reason for forging the United States of America.Yup I'm talking of the American dream,work hard get ahead, opportunity for everyone.On the other side of the cookie we as a nation really do need to hunker down a bit because of the violent crime and scam artist that often cross the borders to evade the authorities in their country of origin.This is no excuse tho for an all out attack of our fundamental human rights as guaranteed by our fore fathers and set forth in plain English in the Constitution of these united states. So with my barely over average intellect and reasoning capacity believe these people to be freedom fighters and heroes in a war to reestablish our freedoms and rights as guaranteed by said constitution. They would be our first line of defense to protect those rights. Al tho I'm older now and can't raise much more dust than a scribbly pen I think it's about time the American people put their foot down. We created that government in Washington and it is out of control due to outside influences by the rich and powerful.If I had contact with anyone from Lulz I would first congratulate them on their skill level and then suggest other even more important targets so as the truth be known of how bad the situation in Washington has become. Just my 2 cents worth God Bless....Binny

criminals fighting for criminals

Cowardly criminals trying to stick up for criminal alien leeches. Ironically, when they are caught and sent to prison in the U.S., they will be raped by the same scumbags they are supposedly striking a blow for.
