The now-famous LulzSec hackers have taken aim at Arizona, and the state’s controversial immigration legislation.

Not fans of Arizona’s SB1070, which was signed into law last year, LulzSec hackers obtained and released law enforcement documents the group said included “intelligence bulletins, training manuals, personal email correspondence, names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords.”

Their reasoning for the hack?

“We are against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.”

Adding, “Hackers of the world are uniting and taking direct action against our common oppressors—the government, corporations, police, and militaries of the world.”

This target was different than previous ones, as the previous hacks had mostly been for entertainment.
