I'm associate editor for Forbes, covering security, surveillance and privacy. I’ve been breaking news and writing features on these topics for major publications since 2010. As a freelancer, I worked for The Guardian, Vice Motherboard, Wired and BBC.com, amongst many others. I was named BT Security Journalist of the year in 2012 and 2013 for a range of exclusive articles, and in 2014 was handed Best News Story for a feature on US government harassment of security professionals. I like to hear from hackers who are breaking things for either fun or profit and researchers who've uncovered nasty things on the web. Tip me on Signal at 447837496820. I use WhatsApp and Treema too. Or you can email me at [email protected], or [email protected].
It appears the leaks are legitimate and could stem from an attack on a web hosting company, Netsential, which handles websites for a number of police agencies, including so-called Fusion Centers. Such facilities support collaboration and communication amongst America’s state and local law enforcement bodies. They produce all manner of material, from guides to alerts, all of which appear in the purported leak.
“Netsential confirmed that this compromise was likely the result of a threat actor who leveraged a compromised Netsential customer user account and the web platform’s upload feature to introduce malicious content, allowing for the exfiltration of other Netsential customer data,” the alert obtained by Krebs read.The identity or identities of the Distributed Denial of Secrets group remains a mystery.
Journalist Emma Best is its only non-anonymous member. Talking about the group last year, she told theTransparency one way or another, which will force the NYPD to publicly divulge how they use surveillance tools.
