Anonymous Hacks BART Police Website, Releases Personal Information of 100 Officers

[RandySF]

Hacker group Anonymous tweeted this morning that it had hacked into the BART Police Officer's Association website, releasing the addresses, e-mail addresses, and passwords of 102 BART police officers. The list has been posted online.

Anonymous is the notorious online hacker group that organized Monday's BART demonstrations after the transit agency blocked cellphone service on the platforms last Thursday in an attempt to disrupt a rally. Monday's protests caused major disruptions, forcing BART to close four stations, which of course, enraged commuters.

The AnonyOps twitter feed added: "FYI, No one claimed responsibility for the hack. Some random joe joined a channel and released the data to the press." Apparently, the group is so secretive that it doesn't even know what its own members are doing.

1. By releasing personal info Anonymous has moved into terrorist activity

because whats the point of releasing the info if they don't want people to use it to terrorize people. Crashing websites is one thing, releasing personal info is 100% always wrong.
