A hacker group called as Grey Security, claims to have breached the official website of the Palm Springs Police Officer Association (pspoa.com) as a form of protest against law enforcement.
“You've now awaken the beast,” the hackers wrote.
The data leak they published contains only the username and the clear text password allegedly used by the site’s administrator, along with the name of the database table from which they obtained the information.
It’s uncertain at this point if Grey Security did access PSPOA’s systems, but we can confirm that the site has been hacked at least once in the past.
Furthermore, we’ve found a number vulnerable URLs on various hacking forums. The attackers could have used the information to easily penetrate the site and obtain the admin’s credentials.
