Leftist Hackers Post Names & Addresses of AZ Law Enforcement Officers Online
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, June 24, 2011, 6:36 AM
Leftist Hackers published the names and addresses of Arizona border patrol agents on the internet.
The Blaze reported:
They want them dead.
The Blaze reported:
A group that boasts of successfully hacking Sony and the Senate and CIA web pages in recent months claimed Thursday to have hacked into the computer files of an Arizona law enforcement agency. The attacked, it said, was motivated by Arizona’s immigration policy.
The Lulz Security hacking collective said on its web site that it was releasing “hundreds of private intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords belonging to Arizona law enforcement.”
The cyber attackers said they were specifically targeting the Arizona Department of Public Safety because of the state’s tough immigration enforcement law known as SB1070 “and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.”
Several DPS officers contacted by The Associated Press said they were inundated with calls Thursday evening and most were trying to get their phone number immediately changed.
The LulzSec group also said it planned to release “more classified documents and embarrassing personal details of military and law enforcement” every week but it was unclear whether other Arizona agencies were targeted.

Time for seal team 6 to do some double tap justice!
american patriot commented:
To use a recent quote from Queen Hillary, patron saint of liberals, “Whose side are they on?”
And we who are proud to call ourselves Americans KNOW that the left is NOT on our side.
They are the enemies within. Beware the traitor.
Gandalf commented:
Time to ID and post the goods on the hackers and their families.
Roare commented:
There is no limits to the depths Liberals will stoop to. Absolutely disgusting. And the fact they are proud of it says volumes about their lack of character.
ER commented:
I gotta give you credit for courage in reporting on this, since I suspect one reason many haven’t been reporting on LulzSec (which is a seriously huge story) is because they themselves don’t want to get hacked. (Supposedly a couple Rupert Murdoch sites were just hacked a couple days ago b/c of upsetting LulzSec with their reporting. Stopping LulzSec should be of highest priority.
jennifer commented:
NO MORE. These people are against America and the laws of the nation. Enough already. The state of Arizona needs to handle this swiftly, aggressively, and with the fullness of the law.
Stuart commented:
This is an act of war. Is it not time the authorities went after these traitors in the same manner.
I have said this before, in every way possible the left daily breaks the boundaries of what is right and proper. It is a steady drip, drip, drip. One day the cup of wrath will overflow and much will be spilled. Only it won’t be water.
Kate commented:
This is exactly why we need to enforce our borders and immigration laws. These people are out to destroy our country. They need to be prosecuted and thrown in jail. Hackers can be found.
StrangernFiction commented:
This is an act of war. Is it not time the authorities went after these traitors in the same manner.
These people ARE the authorities.
kilroy64 commented:
If there is any loss of life due to the publishing of this information the hackers should be tried as accessories to murder.
Greg commented:
It’s time for the DEATH PENALTY for anyone caught hacking into government systems and stealing information. NO EXCEPTIONS!
greenfairie commented:
Now I would be all for sending the Tuscon SWAT team after these jokers.

You don’t mean that. That would require the US to confront Israel. Of course, based on prior comments, it seems that most of you would side with Zionist thugs over your own country.
#1AMERICAN commented:
death would be to easy of a choice for them…send them to afghanistan and throw them to the tribes…that would be a great pay per view event
Eubulides you suck commented:
Eubulides = Nazi thug
dunce commented:
Law enforcement can legally cybertrack these people and they do not really need to get indictment level information, only names, addresses, and license numbers. Every time they go anywhere they will get stopped for minor traffic violations and searched along with their car. Police may make discrete inquiries at their places of employment giving their employers pause. Their phones likely have caller id or they can get the phone company to provide any thing they ask for. This is not a fight smart people pick.
REDPILLPATRIOT commented:
Calm down, I know we are all disgusted with the traitor left, progressive, democrat, liberal, whatever you call them (I just call them evil). But we on the right must stick together! We must not give the government any more control (#11)
We can’t let them trick us into a backlash that gives them power. They will poke, prod, and provoke us or the sheeple into giving them what they need. We need to hold the line, push back, but wait for the right time to unleash the dogs of war!
I support Israel, but I support the USA first. Israel can take care of themselves until they can’t, then we will help if we can.
StanInTexas commented:
I can remember a time when Liberals got really upset when they thought a government agent had her identity exposed. Now that are deliberately putting the lives of dozens of law enforcement agents at risk AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES, and nary a peep from those same Liberals.
Traitors, One and ALL!
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Always remember folks, law enforcement officers are usually armed, or are within close proximity to armament.
Anyone acting on this published information with the intent to harm law enforcement personnel could be in for a bit of a surprise…
fightinggranny commented:
Where is Homeland Security and Cyber Security? Sorry, my bad, they’re spying on us instead of putting these hackers in jail. Never mind.
retire05 commented:
fightinggranny, you hit the nail on the head. The FBI has a huge cybercrimes division, yet, I think it is important to note that the hacking, and cyber attacks, seem to be increasing with each day that Obama is in office.
The technology that allows cyber attacks is not new. It was around during the Bush administration, yet every day we read of another, and another, and another, from the Wikileaks dump to the hacking of bank records, the Pentagon, and other governmental agencies.
Oddly enough, the FBI seems to be just as inept as those Obama has appointed to head it up. Much like the AFT and its Gunwalker program. And we all know that Eric Holder is more interested in representing a teacher who wants a leave of absense to go to Mecca than he is in protecting Americans from radical Bill Ayers types.
Nelle commented:
I hope these hackers are identified and the AZ officers personally sue them into oblivion for reckless endangerment or whatever will stick.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
Do you have any proof of the absurdity you regurgitate, or do you just love to wet yourself and sit about in your own waste?
Eubulides commented:
Is PBS now a target for leftists as well? LulzSec got them just recently.
One of the problems with reactionaries such as yourselves is that you have a magical worldview that shields you from cognitive dissonance that would give pause to any rational person. In your mind, anything you find distasteful or threatening is “liberal” and by merely saying so, you get an ersatz feeling of power over a world which is scary and confusing for you. You have your own shamans and medicine men in the form of talk radio whose words seemingly confirm what you want to be true. The ancestor worship evoked by constant appeal to the Founding Fathers is fairly blatant, so I won’t bother explaining it. Talismans, fetishes, and amulets also feature prominently in your mythos. A scrap of a flag or a the first three words of the Constitution are treated as sacred relics despite the fact that your working knowledge of Constitutional law is likely nil, like a bushman with a coke bottle. While you may say you hate me, I am unable to reciprocate your feelings. For you, I have only pity.
#19
Surprised that LEOs have firearms? I have little sympathy for anyone that dumb.
Eubulides commented:
#23
Proof is reserved for logic and math. Do you mean to say “evidence”?
Chisum commented:
Eubulides the AssTroll,
Perhaps you can condescend to explain how exposing PBS in any way equals exposing AZ law enforcement?
Perhaps you are unaware of how drug cartels treat law enforcement, their families and anyone who gets between them and their goals?
Or do you believe that they are merely misunderstood capitalists?
You sound stupid enough to believe that.
jimg commented:
While you may say you hate me,….
Naw.
I mean, what’s not to like about a condescending, pompous, arrogant ass such as yourself?
Kingslayor commented:
Why should we be supprised that this is happening??? This is what happens when you have a government that refuses to enforce the immagration laws on the books!!!The lack of action on the part of the federal government is why law abiding citizens feel less secure and no longer trust the government. It is left up to the states to bare the burden of what the federal government won’t do! The lack of action has enbolden the enemies of the country. If I was one of these agents that my famalies life is now at risk!!!!I would be doing some intel on the federal politicians that has allowed for this to happen and send them a message, an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth pal!!! It looks like some innocent people will die before these @ss monkeies will do their job!!!
Mitchell commented:
Okay, consider me officially confused. It’s my general understanding that Gateway Pundit, and the bulk of the readers and commenters here, are smaller government Tea Party types, who are for more freedom, against expanded government, etc. Which I agree with, by the way.
The first comment, urges targeted assassination of the hackers. Many other comments assert the point that liberals = traitors, and since the hackers did this they must be liberal traitors, which is just stupid.
The hackers should be sued. They should be executed. They should be exposed, presumably by increasing the powers the government has to chase down people online.
What am I missing? How did the “reduce the government’s power” mindset get all the way to “round up the hackers and shoot them after you use newly expanded powers to find them?”
Even worse, these are Arizona cops we’re talking about. You know, the ones who waded in and killed Jose Guerena in his home recently? And you want to protect THESE cops? I expect this level of cognitive dissonance from liberals, because they only care about power. I am disappointed to find it here on Gateway Pundit. I hold conservatives to much higher intellectual standards.
FurryGuyJeans commented:
No sympathy for yourself, eh?
Yeah, we are the clueless. uhuh.
Chisum commented:
Wow Mitchell,
Cognitive dissonance?
A group of cowardly POS steal confidential information and MALICIOUSLY release it knowing full well that people could die as a result of it.
You wrote this: Even worse, these are Arizona cops we’re talking about.
And you accuse us of cognitive dissonance?
Are AZ cops and their families and loved ones somehow worth less than other human beings?
If one of my loved ones was hurt because of these malicious pricks I wouldn’t wait for government to track them down. I’d do it myself.
Take your faux conservatism and finger pointing and stuff it.
Eubulides commented:
#30
I directed a question to you in post 25 so that I can answer 23. Kindly answer it.
In context, my statement was in reference to:
“Anyone acting on this published information with the intent to harm law enforcement personnel could be in for a bit of a surprise…” in post 19.
Hope this helps.
Mitchell commented:
Well, Chisum, you are strangely silent about Jose Guerena. I guess as a decorated serviceman turned civilian, you can’t find any MALICE in him being shot dead in front of his family by Arizona SWAT guys. Apparently, Az cops and their loved ones are somehow worth more than (non-badge toting) human beings (whom they are sworn to protect, if memory serves).
Man, if you got the “authentic conservatism,” I don’t want any part of it. Here’s hoping you’re not playing internet tough guy in real life if a SWAT team comes knocking on your door one fine morning.
Eubulides commented:
26
I was merely commenting that judging by their targets, the hackers are apolitical rather than leftist. I was silent as to the harm possible. As for the cartels, their final goal is to make money. A few years ago before the real estate crash, gangs in the US were switching to property fraud because it was more profitable than narcotics. As soon as the prohibition ends, market forces will drive prices lower while quality and standardization rise. The would likely result in fewer drug cases overburdening the police, courts, and prisons, fewer crimes to support habits, and the cartels will simply move on to some other criminal enterprise that makes money.
Chisum commented:
Mitchell @ #33,
You are free to make all the assumptions you like about my position regarding Guerena.
My response to you was in reference to your accusation of ‘cognitive dissonance’ and your attempt to pass yourself off as a conservative.
You are simply a dumb troll who projects.
Mitchell commented:
Argh. the devil’s in the details, ain’t it? You read the headline and it says “Law Enforcement” and you kind of blend it together and come out with “Arizona Pima County SWAT Team guys who kill people during raids,” where it’s actually information on DPS guys and border patrol agents, who try to actually keep people from being hurt.
The police don’t need more power, and I’m not comfortable with the identities of policemen being shielded such that nobody knows anything about them except the name on their badge, but, yeah, publishing their home contact information isn’t making things better.
I am less confused now.
Chisum commented:

AssTroll Eubulides,
Really? Truly you are a genius! Kindly explain what is currently happening in Mexico. They legalized drug possession in 2006. And yet the cartels have not moved on. And their jails are overflowing.
Please entertain us with another one of your long, idiotic, rambling, fact-free dissertations. And tell us how dumb WE are.
mg4us commented:
I hope the AZ Governor has enough courage to launch an all out offensive into this group – - to find them and their members and have AZ troopers haul ‘em in, even if they are over state line. .
No mercy to these leftist thieves and traitors.
Rob Crawford commented:
Eubulides — so you support criminal trespass and misuse of private property? You support exposing the confidential information of innocent people so they are targeted by criminals? You support the use of crime — and by implication force — to support your political goals?
Noted.
Now, why don’t you stop being an anonymous coward and use your real name?

@#29, Mitchell – re: “Okay, consider me officially confused. It’s my general understanding that Gateway Pundit, and the bulk of the readers and commenters here, are smaller government Tea Party types, who are for more freedom, against expanded government, etc. …..What am I missing? How did the “reduce the government’s power” mindset get all the way to “round up the hackers and shoot them after you use newly expanded powers to find them?”
Speaking for myself, as a Tea Partier & Gateway Pundit reader for limited Constitutional government…..first, the #1 function of government is national security; second, the mastermind of LulzSec is in a totally different category of his own among hackers, as far as both skills & urgency of threat; third, LulzSec has explicitly declared war on both corrupt & big government, which would not be so bad if that was metaphorical and if it stopped there, but he/they (I’m more concerned about the mastermind) declared war on banks, with promises to continue until death, have put a gun image on their latest release, and have put well-being and even lives at risk. I advocate arresting & trial for LulzSec, but without overkill for constitutional liberties of ordinary citizens. Seriously, I don’t understand why he is not already arrested. He needs to be in jail today.
ER commented:
@#29, Mithcell – p.s., about calling LulzSec “leftist,” LulzSec has declared anarchy and explicitly said they are anti-big government, so while in some ways (like their not appreciating the security value of border control, race-victimization agenda in the name of fighting “oppression”, etc) they align with the left, in others they align with the right
DeeDee commented:
I wish someone would just send some of these illegal immigrants to live in the homes of the people that are for illegal immigration. They want to make sure that everyone pays more taxes but yet they want more people in the U.S. that do not pay taxes at all and receive services that are paid by others.
Before anyone starts accusing me of racism, I am hispanic and against illegal immigration. I arrived here legally and I am now a U.S. citizen and do not believe that the borders should be opened. First of all, there is no information on the people that are getting in illegally and even though most of them are probably law abiding and looking for a better life than what they have in their country, there are many that the same cannot be said.
ER commented:
@ 29, Mitchell, about the leftist/rightist analysis about the LulzSec mastermind, to me, he comes off as a guy who maybe got computer/math/engineering skills and ideological foolishness from Berkley in the ’60s, does not seem like some causal leftist young hacker, but more complex
Eubulides commented:
37
The violence in Mexico is not hermetically sealed away from US drug laws. In the 20s, Canadian distillers were prolific suppliers of contraband that showed up in the hands of gangsters in the Prohibition era. Are you saying that crime resultant from the 18th Amendment did not abate once the 21st was passed?
I do not know you personally. Thus I am unable to accurately describe how dumb you are.
39
I said none of those things. Implying that I said them does not advance your argument nor refute mine. Perhaps you can cite some quote of mine and I can assist with your reading comprehension.
As for my handle, what makes your username more plausible than mine?
Chisum commented:
Eubulides the AssTroll,
You make perfect sense.
For a Silly Babbler. Yes, we are laughing at you.
Loser.
Radegunda commented:
Eubilides: the people who sing praise songs to Obama, and depict him with a halo, and say he stands over the world like God, and claim his IQ is off the charts, and swoon in his presence, and applaud when he says he’ll make the oceans stop rising and heal the planet — in short, anybody who believes or promotes the mythology of Obama — has no standing to accuse others of having magical thinking.
The purpose of the Constitution — which you obviously don’t understand — was not to create a utopia. It was to prevent tyranny by strictly spelling out the powers that the federal government my wield over the citizens.
Those who scoff at deference to (not worship of) the Constitution are the people who want a more intrusive and coercive government. Simple as that.
Mitchell commented:
ER- Thanks for the multiple comments. As I mentioned previously, I missed some important context between the headline and the specifics of what was going on. It’s hard to catch everything, and the only thing I had heard about LulzSec was that he was at war with anonymous/4chan and that he had been caught by the police somewhere. I wasn’t aware of his political position that you clued me in on.
I’ve been reading Gateway Pundit for years, and never had any urge to comment before this thread, because I always found myself in agreement with Mr. Hoft on the topics he illuminated on the blog. I know my initial post probably came out sounding like a troll, and I appreciate your taking it at face value- it’s hard on the internet to distinguish between trollery and genuine ign’rance. In this case, the ignorance seems to have been entirely my own.
Radegunda commented:
Eubulides — about that “magical” thinking: It’s leftists who think they can cook up a scheme in a classroom or a bureaucracy and then impose it on the working world and it will magically work because it sounded so good on paper. Leftists in government aim to exercise a maximum of control over the private sector with a minimum of experience in the private sector. They think their own ideas are sufficient.
Conservatives, by contrast, are more likely to have experience in the productive sector, and fewer pretensions to being able to orchestrate whole sectors of the economy without any experience in those arenas.
Conservatives are more likely than leftists to be involved in occupations where results really matter — where they actually have to get things right or else something falls apart and people get hurt. Leftists seem oblivious to the harm that’s done by their own abstract schemes. Case in point: the main purpose of the Democrats’ health care bill was not to improve health care (which it clearly is not doing), but rather to maximize Democrat-leftist control over other people’s lives.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
If the tone in the general public is coarsening, I suppose it is inevitable that the tone will coarsen here at GP…and it sure has.
Many of my favorite longtime commenters here are calling people “AssTrolls”, instead of engaging them in discussion.
Let this forum not become LGF. We’re much better, and brighter, than that.
Aspire to Flopping Aces’ forum, or to Althouse’s.
I understand the anger. I understand the impatience, and the tendency to say “f*&& it, I’ve had enough of using reason — besides these people are incapable”.
That’s not a good road to take, IMHO. Eubulides and Mitchell don’t seem to be incapable of reason, and yet most here have decided to take the “path of the flame”, instead of taking the time to address each point and make some attempt at persuasion.
There are lurkers who don’t even comment — I’m guessing five times as many just looking and reading the thread. Flaming as a response to the folks you have decided are “trolls” — which, lately, is anyone who disagrees, no matter the tone of disagreement — is similarly not going to persuade the onlookers. It’s going to turn them away from all things “right”.
“Come, let us reason together.” –The God who created us, through a prophet of his.
Chisum commented:
Taqiy,
Very commendable sentiments. Obviously you have not been following “eubulides’” troll droppings in other threads, nor his/her many manifestations on this blog.
It is an ass and a troll. Good luck reasoning with it.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
And thank you Radegunda (#48) for the perfect example. Kudos.
Don’t stop trying, folks. We’re given amazing abilities here, now. What are we going to do with the words and reasoning abilities and logic and knowledge and writing that we have been given?
“AssTroll”? Or a damn good rejoinder?
(full disclosure — I am guilty, too, on a couple of occasions: sometimes when confronted with full-on antisemites, I tend to invoke a 50′ reinforced-concrete phallus, and I also tend to tell them what I wish they would go and do with said phallus….that’s really my only trigger to begin commenting like a YouTuber or a KosKid…)
Again, know that many times more are just reading these threads. Imparting knowledge and reason tends to sway people. Maybe not the “troll” you’re debating on this forum, but just maybe 20 other people watching from the gallery will be swayed by your points.
God bless you all.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Chisum, I understand, as I said…and I have indeed read this person’s comments on other threads.
So what? You won’t sway him/her.
You might sway the 20 or 200 other people who are not commenting, but just reading.
Jim could provide us with stats, I’m sure, but the commenters are far outnumbered by the non-commenters, I’m guessing. Those who are simply reading and taking it all in. I do this at 20 different sites, and I bet you do too. I pretty much only comment here — Home Base, as it were. I know folks who don’t comment at ALL in these threads, but who love to read them. I want us all to act as if we are persuading these people.
That’s what Debate was in school: you’re competing against some bonehead in persuading the audience….not the bonehead.
Chisum commented:

Taqiyyotomist commented:
Chisum, I will, but I believe that any links to comments are entirely beside my point:
So the bonehead you’re debating won’t be convinced. That’s not the entire point of debate, especially online forum debate, where perhaps many hundreds are just watching.
—
His number 29, I (if I was inclined even to address this person at all, which I wasn’t — don’t feed, and all that) would have argued against his point that “all Abrahamic religions are death-cults”. Point in fact: Yahweh’s religions are about life, and in them life is sacred, the goal, the main point — exactly contrary to those of “Allah”, who, as does Satan, comes for naught but to steal, kill, and destroy.
—
And, to his #47 in the other thread, well, I may have had to resort to the concrete phallus.
But even that is sad, I think. Every misshapen and twisted “point” in that little glob of venom could really be addressed, by a better and more knowledgeable writer than me. If I had the patience and the time, I’d forward that to “Yid With Lid” or “The Muqata” and ask for an intelligent and non-hateful rejoinder, and — who knows? — I’d probably get one.

Chisum, I hear ya. Just hear me. These words we haven been given by God.
Christ is even called in Greek, “Logos.”
wanumba commented:
This is part of a coordinated strategy to undermine the integrity of law enforcement, started when Obama announced to the world, “I don’t know the facts, but the police acted stupidly.”
Few of Obama’s long time fellow-travelers like law enforcement – they’ve broken the law and thus hate police who are tasked with enforcing the law (i.e. Bill Weatherman Ayers, Bernadine Dorn, and Van Jones).
Obama applied the very same tactic he used against the Cambridge Police Department, to favor his black buddy against the white officer, and extended it to Arizona law enforcement where the “victims” are “illegal and the “pigs” are Arizona law officers.
The discouragement and undermining of credible law enforcement in AZ has been to set the Justice Department on the state to block laws that police enforce, thus making police to watch lawlessness that they know won’t be prosecuted, thus frustrating them in their professional roles, and now a new phase has begun of actually harrassing officers personally at home, harrassing their families.
The drug cartels already are keeping track of officers. This really really helps them out. With the cross-border drug trade, this act of so-called hacking qualifies as espionage, and sedition, undermining local governance which must set and apply laws, treason – giving aid and comfort to our enemies.
If our law enforcement structure and officers are not protected, the good ones will QUIT, and the BAD will stay and the WORSE will be hired henceforth. No decent man or woman will stay with it. Society expects them to stand between us and murderers and brutes, but won’t have their backs? What fool would stick with that? ALL of society will suffer the consequences.
People whine and whinge about American law enforcement. Yes, it’s not perfect, but it’s more than just average and it is lightyears ahead in fairness and effectiveness than any other country’s. If people don’t like what we have, WORSE is the only alternative. Worse, a lot worse, and atrocious are the NORM in other countries.
Obama’s CHANGE applied to law enforcement means allowing lawlessness, crime and anarchy. He didn’t know the facts, but he told us all to our faces what side he was NOT going to support: police.
