The hacking group is making good on a longstanding threat to dox Donald Trump. Secret Service looking into Trump Anonymous hack

The Secret Service said Friday it is investigating along with the FBI after the Internet hacking collective Anonymous claimed to have hacked into the personal information of Donald Trump.

"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of the Internet postings of Candidate Donald Trump’s personal information. We are working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in this matter," Secret Service spokesman Martin Mulholland said in a statement.

The hacking group announced its breach, dubbed #OpWhiteRose, in a YouTube video posted Thursday, making good on a longstanding threat to dox the candidate, slamming him for “an agenda of fascism and xenophobia, as well as the religious persecution of Muslims through totalitarian policies."

The video featured links to pages with personal information in the description, including Trump's Social Security number and contact information for his residence and agent, though at least some of the information appears to be out of date. The cellphone number listed was already reported on by Gawker last August, with Trump himself later inviting people to call it to hear a campaign message. POLITICO called the phone number on Thursday and was sent straight to voicemail.

Trump has had Secret Service protection since last fall.
