The NYPD Captain’s Union website was hit with malware, taking it offline.
“There are indications the attack on our website was orchestrated by a group identifying themselves as “Anonymous” who have a history of targeting police websites across the country,” wrote the union’s president Roy Richter, in a letter to members.
Richter wrote that the captain’s association does not store any personal information about union members on the website, and that no “confidential information has been compromised.”
The letter also noted that the association was adding new security protections to the website, and that the union considered the attack more an irritation than a threat.
