US Department of Justice hacked

The US Department of Justice announced that its computer system was attacked, while Anonymous said that it had taken a lot of data from this computer system.

The US Department of Justice announced on May 21 that it had become the victim of a computer system intrusion. At the same time, the hacker group Anonymous said that the group had taken a lot of data from the computer system of the above department.

The Justice Department said it is reviewing the access to a server belonging to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics that contains data taken from the department's public Internet address. The agency's Internet address is still active and the Justice Department's main address was not affected by the breach.

Also according to the announcement of the US Department of Justice, the country's Bureau of Justice Statistics is continuing to establish protective and safeguard measures to retain information, and will conduct a criminal investigation into any activities deemed illegal.

Previously, on the social network Twitter appeared a message believed to be from the group Anonymous, stating that many data of the US Department of Justice had been seized and would be published in the near future.

The message stated: “In these data, you will certainly see many valuables as well as internal emails. We do not protect any government or any party. We protect personal freedom, freedom of expression and freedom of information. We publish these data to spread information and let people hear and grasp information about government corruption.”
