PHOENIX - The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirms it has been the target of a second cyber attack in a week.

The second attack is more personal, however, revealing "names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, social security numbers, online dating account info, voicemails, chat logs, and seductive girlfriend pictures belonging to a dozen Arizona police officers," according to the cyber group calling itself Antisec.

The group indicated it had plans, this time, to reveal "humiliating dirt".

The group uses the same website to post information as the group that hit the DPS website last week .  In that attack, the group released confidential department information.

The documents included private intelligence bulletins, personal emails, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement.

The group also claims it hit DPS spokesman Stephen Harrison who they say has "been bragging to the news about how they are upgrading their security and how they will catch the evil hackers who exposed them. Clearly not secure enough, because we owned his personal Hotmail, Facebook and Match.com accounts and dumped all his personal details for the world to see."

Harrison would not address his own situation but explained that other officers had also been targeted by the attack.  He explained, during a press conference, that one officer had been the victim of a bomb threat as a result of his personal information being released.  Authorities did a sweep of that officer's home, and found everything to be okay.

"We would like to make it clear that these intrusions have in no way affected public safety, or the ability of the agency to conduct its mission. The department's mission is protect the citizens of Arizona and we will continue to do so every day in a professional manner," DPS released in a statement.

The cyber group promised "much more bounty to come guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces of all those who have hated the police."

They put out a call to other hackers to "join the antisec popular front against the corrupt governments, corporations, militaries, and law enforcement of the world."

Antisec statement

Just when you thought it was over, we're hitting the Arizona police state with our second round of attacks. In our first bulletin we dumped a treasure trove of secret law enforcement documents. In this second bulletin, we're dumping booty pirated from a dozen Arizona police officer's personal email accounts looking specifically for humiliating dirt. This leak has names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, social security numbers, online dating account info, voicemails, chat logs, and seductive girlfriend pictures belonging to a dozen Arizona police officers. We found more internal police reports, cops forwarding racist chain emails, k9 drug unit cops who use percocets, and a convicted sex
offender who was part of FOP Maricopa Lodge Five.

We also hit the AZDPS spokesperson Stephen Harrison who been bragging to the news about how they are upgrading their security and how they will catch the evil hackers who exposed them. Clearly not secure enough, because we owned his personal hotmail, facebook and match.com accounts and dumped all his personal details for the world to see. The same fate will meet anyone else who tries to paint us as terrorists in an Orwellian attempt to pass more pro-censorship or racial-profiling police state laws.

We also found details of Jeff Wilson, a former DPS officer and member of a Navajo tribe, planning on suing the department for racial discrimination charges. Amongst the civil rights violations occuring in AZDPS, Sgt. Jeff Eavenson and others were illegally issuing tickets to Navajos in AZ state court
jurisdiction instead of tribal courts. When Jeff Wilson brought these charges up to the department, they punished him and pushed him out of the police force. We welcome Wilson's attempts to expose his racist administrators and so we won't we releasing his info.

Yes we're aware that putting the pigs on blast puts risks their safety, those poor defenseless police officers who lock people up for decades, who get away with brutality and torture, who discriminate against people of color, who make and break their own laws as they see fit. We are making sure they experience just a taste of the same kind of violence and terror they dish out on an every day basis. Our advice to you is to quit while you still can and turn on your commanding officers before you end up in our cross hairs next, because we're not stopping until every prisoner is freed and every prison is burned to the ground.

To other hackers: it's time to set aside our differences and join the antisec popular front against the corrupt governments, corporations, militaries, and law enforcement of the world. We promise you much more bounty to come guaranteed to bring smiles to the faces of all those who have hated the police. Unite and fight, for the flames of revolution burn bright!
