Hacker Posts British Police Logins Online

A hacker, going by the name ‘0x00x00’, has posted credentials of what seems to be login credentials of police officers from the Hertfordshire and Nottinghamshire constabularies in the UK.

The hacker posted the information on Pastebin yesterday and the top of the post contains the banner 'OpFreeAssange'. The hacker however has stressed that he/she is not a member of the notorious hacktivist group Anonymous. There are a total of 5 posts that start with the name #OpFreeAssange.

Police have said that they are investigating the breach and they have also confirmed that the information posted online had been "stored on a database linked to the public Safer Neighbourhoods pages of the external Constabulary website".

"We continue to investigate and have taken steps to further strengthen security around our website as a precaution," the police said.

Below are the tweets from the hacker.
