The US police organisation Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) was breached, and a 2.5GB data dump was made public.
Thousands of private forum messages by US law enforcement personnel and 100 of police contracts are included in this FOP's data leak, a 273MB zip archive.
As insurance, the man uploaded an encrypted data dump, disclosing that the password to access it is held by an anonymous third party who will divulge the valuable information in the event that White passes away.
Because of the substance of some posts, US law enforcement is experiencing chaos as a result of this data breach.
A threat was made against White, but he disregarded it and tweeted screenshots of the menacing emails he had received.
