Drug Enforcement Administration

The Law Enforcement Inquiry and Alerts (LEIA) system managed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) suffered a data security breach after hackers obtained the username and password of an authorized user of esp.usdoj.gov.

The hackers used EPIC to look up a variety of records, including those for motor vehicles, boats, firearms, aircraft, and even drones.

The hackers used their access not only to view sensitive information but also to submit false records to law enforcement and intelligence agency databases.
