#OpFreeAssange -Hertfordshire Police Website Hacked & Login Information Stolen
Just few days ago hacktivist group Anonymous strikes on the cyber fence of UK Government, and sent Ministry of Justice and the Britis Home Office offline for certain period of time. The motive of the cyber attack was directly linked with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange extradition. Not only Anonymous, but also hackers from different part of globe joined 'Operation Free Assange' dubbed '#OpFreeAssange'. As a result A hacker codenamed '0x00x00' has posted online what appears to be login information for police officers in the Hertfordshire and Nottinghamshire constabularies. The usernames, passwords and PINs were posted to Pastebin on Thursday, along with the banner 'OpFreeAssange' and a quote from Wikileaks founder. The hacker said in the Pastebin document: "This is nothing big not some l33t h4x shit ... but this tells how insecure the Web is." A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Constabulary said in a statement that, following initial inquiries, the force was "confident at this stage that no restricted or confidential information was accessed or databases compromised". "We continue to investigate and have taken steps to further strengthen security around our website as a precaution," the statement continued. In a statement, Hertfordshire Constabulary said it was investigating the breach, and confirmed that the information had been "stored on a database linked to the public Safer Neighbourhoods pages of the external Constabulary website".
