Here it is to be noted that the hackers "exploited flaws on at least three of the organisation's chapter websites - which we're not naming - and downloaded the contents of each web server," the report said. The hacker claimed to have "over a million data" on employees across several federal agencies and public service organisations in the US. They also put the data up for download on their own website.
A hacker told TechCrunch "We hacked more than 1,000 sites. Now we are structuring all the data, and soon they will be sold. I think something else will publish from the list of hacked government sites,". The data contains member names, a mix of personal and government email addresses, job titles, phone numbers and postal addresses. The hackers, whose identity is still unknown whether they are an independent group or nation-state actors, used public exploits, indicating that "many of the websites they hit weren't up-to-date and had outdated plugins". The FBI was yet to speak on the incident.
