Thousands affected after Anonymous hacks police union website

SACRAMENTO, CA - International hacker group Anonymous claims responsibility for hacking and releasing information about members of the California Statewide Law Enforcement Association union.

Anonymous tweeted on Sunday around 8:20 a.m., "In case you missed it: CA Statewide Law Enforcement Agency (http://cslea.com) pwnt by #AntiSec."

Anonymous released the names, addresses and phone numbers of members; plus, credit card information taken from the association's online gift store was posted.

"California police have a notorious history of brutality and therefore have been on our hit list for a good minute now," Anonymous posted on a forum, where they released the information.
