Few days back, we reported that anonymous hacked into UK police forums and defaced the main page. It seems like they have also compromised the private email address of police officers.
They have emailed one former officer with the subject "A message to the police and armed forces".
The message reads:
“We call on you to do the right thing for once and stand with us, not against us, as we are doing this for YOUR benefit too
Under your uniform you are one of us and we are you. United we stand and can make this world a better place for all of us.
We are not against you, only against the evil system that you defend, and we appeal to your consciences to stop protecting the traitors and banksters, and protect us from them instead.
Brothers in arms, join us and end wars and poverty. United we stand."
The Met said inquiries were ongoing but it was aware of "a number of incidents" whereby emails purporting to be from members of the group Anonymous have been sent to the private email accounts of former and current police personnel.
"It would appear that a third party forum has been compromised and personal email details retrieved," it said in a statement.
