An international group identifying itself as LulzSec claims it hacked into the Arizona Department of Public Safety’s computer and downloaded a trove of sensitive law enforcement files now being distributed on the Internet.
LulzSec said in a bulletin that it targeted DPS because it opposes SB 1070, a law the Arizona Legislature passed that widened state law-enforcement officers’ ability to target illegal immigrants. The law, which has been copied by several states, is largely on hold pending a review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
