A massive 40 gigabytes worth of files have been stolen by Anonymous hackers operating under the AntiSec banner from the internal networks of Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO.org) in Florida.

“More evidence that the illegitimate justice system protects their own, who get away with rampant corruption and theft, while the police apply unconstitutional profiling and pressure in their efforts to raise their arrest quotas and keep homeland security money rolling in,” the hacktivists said.

One of the hackers that participated in the operation told us that out of the 40 gigabytes of data, around 35 gigabytes represent forensic software and other applications used by law enforcement agencies.

The other 5 gigabytes, which were dumped now, are made up of reports that detail LCSO operations such as Op Inmate Intelligence Gathering and Operation Screen Savers.

The files also include corporate security IPDR reports from Sprint Nextel which demonstrate that the telecoms company hands over private information to the authorities.

Phone lists that reveal financial crimes, intelligence bulletins from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, communication codes and communications equipment are all contained in the data dump.

Furthermore, hackers have even leaked the locations of Army Reserve facilities from the US, badge numbers, 911 calls, login credentials, manuals, and official bulletins from the Department of Justice.

Basically, everything stored in the office’s internal network that could be considered of value has ended up online for anyone to see.

“Disciplinary actions against police officers show how statist forces protect government workers while the unemployed and downtrodden are left to their own devices,” they explained.

“There is no mercy for them, but the police keep working even when they break the law, conduct illegal surveillance and seizure, and prepare evidence for your long-term sentence in prisons for profit. We are all political prisoners now.”

The list of files, all 13,093 of them, sorted in 1,631 folders can be found here.
