24 June 2011<\/span> Last updated at<\/span> 06:58 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona’s police force has become the latest victim of hacker group LulzSec.<\/p>\n

About 700 confidential documents belonging to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) were stolen and published online.<\/p>\n

The cache includes e-mails, memos and training manuals as well as intelligence bulletins detailing work with informants.<\/p>\n

The group said it had targeted AZDPS because of a controversial state law designed to stop illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of computer issues,” Steve Harrison, a spokesman for the force told Reuters. “We’re looking into it. And of course we’re taking additional security safeguards.”<\/p>\n

Sabotage<\/span><\/p>\n

On 24 June, Lulzsec announced that it was putting 400MB of documents on the Pirate Bay file-sharing website via a short message on its Twitter feed<\/a> and a statement on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It said that AZDPS had been targeted because of its role in upholding the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act, also known as SB1070.<\/p>\n

The legislation, passed in 2010, forces legal aliens to carry their ID documents at all times. It also obliges Arizona police to check those papers when they have a reasonable suspicion that a person may be there illegally.<\/p>\n

As a border state, Arizona is particularly affected by illegal immigration. However, critics believe that SB1070 amounts to racial profiling.<\/p>\n

Terror targets<\/span><\/p>\n

Also included in the LulzSec document cache is a Powerpoint presentation about the potential vulnerability of ferries to attack by terrorists, lists of trends in suspicious incidents and a report that drug gangs are using scouts on horseback to evade capture.<\/p>\n

The theft is part of an initiative Lulzsec kicked off last week called Antisec which is aimed at taking confidential documents from governments, the military and law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n

It plans to release a batch of stolen files every week to “purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust ‘war on drugs’.”<\/p>\n

In recent months Lulzsec has carried out attacks on a wide range of targets and has taken down the websites of the US Senate, the CIA and the UK’s Serious Organised Crime Agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
