»www.nbclosangeles.com/ne ··· mobile=o quote: Around 20,000 Los Angeles Police Department job-seekers and officers have had their personal data nicked, the force has confirmed. A total of 17,500 applicants to the force and 2,500 serving officers had their names, dates of birth, parts of their social security numbers, and the email addresses and passwords associated with their applicant accounts stolen by hackers. Local news outlet NBC LA reported that affected people were told over the weekend. In a statement, the force said: "Data security is paramount at the Los Angeles Police Department, and we are committed to protecting the privacy of anyone who is associated with our agency." The breach was blamed on an unidentified hacker who stole the files then emailed the police IT department with samples. "To Serve and Protect." Not your PII information, apparently [/sarc] [/cynic]
