Hackers steal and leak sensitive LAPD police documents

What Happened

Cybercriminals allegedly stole sensitive documents from the Los Angeles Police Department, including officer personnel files, internal affairs investigations, and discovery documents. The breach affected a digital storage system belonging to the LA City Attorney's Office, not LAPD systems directly. The extortion gang World Leaks claimed responsibility. Approximately 7.7 terabytes of data and over 337,000 files were exposed, including unredacted criminal complaints and personal information like witness names and medical data.
