Police Information Leaked


Who does the internet belong to? Should we be limited on what we are capable to do through a network? The internet belongs to the people of the world and no we should not be limited. The U.S government has tried to censor and limit the things that we can see and do on the internet. A group of hackers called “CabinCr3w” leaked information of more than 100 hundred police officers from the database of the Los Angeles County Police Canine Association (LACPCA) website. The LACPCA, an organization that promotes the welfare and safety of canine law enforcement teams that also represent Whittier, Los Angeles, South Gate, Palos Verdes and El Monte has been hacked by this crew. They wanted to show how weak government and official websites are.” Along with the names, email addresses and phone numbers included in the leak, the hackers claim they also have their hands on more than 15,000 police warrants, hundreds of thousands of court summons, information on confidential narcotics informants and thousands of police reports.” As said in an article by Matt Liebowitz. If the government wants to limit the people of their capabilities, there is a possibility that hackers might gain control over the internet and leak more confidential information about the government.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46480682/ns/technology_and_science-security/#.T0UfScjgcTA
