LulzSec Claims Hack of Arizona Law Enforcement Info

Click here to view this media Hmmm… I wonder if we’ll be hearing anything about our buddy Sheriff Joe Arpaio with this news? LulzSec claims hack of Arizona law enforcement info : Hacking group LulzSec took aim at law enforcement in the state of Arizona on Thursday, saying it was releasing “hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords” belonging to those in law enforcement. The group, which has claimed responsibility for various denial-of-service attacks in recent weeks, ranging from the CIA and U.S. Senate’s public websites to those of various video game companies, said it specifically targeted Arizona “because we are against SB 1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.” SB 1070, a tough immigration law, was passed a year ago by state legislators, but immediately challenged. A preliminary injunction by a federal judge has blocked most of the law from going into effect. Arizona is planning to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to lift the injunction. Read on… Breaking: LulzSec leaks Arizona law enforcement papers (Updated: Details!) : LulzSec just now announced a trove of leaked material it claims is from Arizona law enforcement agencies, made available as a 446MB torrent . We are releasing hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement. We are targeting AZDPS specifically because we are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona. The documents classified as “law enforcement sensitive”, “not for public distribution”, and “for official use only” are primarily related to border patrol and counter-terrorism operations and describe the use of informants to infiltrate various gangs, cartels, motorcycle clubs, Nazi groups, and protest movements. Every week we plan on releasing more classified documents and embarassing personal details of military and law enforcement in an effort not just to reveal their racist and corrupt nature but to purposefully sabotage their efforts to terrorize communities fighting an unjust “war on drugs”. Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors – the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world. See you again real soon! ;D Many of the documents seem to be mundane, but the sheer size of the dump means that it’ll take some time for reporters to parse. After the jump, I’ll post anything newsworthy that I spot on a skim-through.

Conan’s editors really love Final Cut Pro X… or maybe they don’t (video)

The web is abuzz with talk of Apple’s new slimmed-down, low-cost Final Cut Pro X , but Cupertino’s beloved video editing platform has also caused quite a stir among professionals, who note its lack of features and glaring absence of backwards compatibility. Conan O’Brien’s editors have already downloaded the new app, and threw together a segment for last night’s show highlighting some of its new features . Jump past the break for a clip of Final Cut Pro’s 90 seconds of fame, or warm up that credit card and head over to the Mac App Store to give it a spin for yourself. Just don’t dump Final Cut Pro 7 yet — you’ll need to have it around to open legacy projects, output to tape, utilize multiple editing sequences, and access Photoshop layers, along with one or two other tiny omissions.
