ExfilSquad hackers leak info of over 100,000 UK police officers, staff

A cyberattack on the U.K.'s Police National Legal Database exposed contact information for more than 100,000 police officers and criminal justice professionals. The threat group ExfilSquad claims responsibility and has published the stolen data. The incident impacts a critical law enforcement infrastructure database in the United Kingdom.

Why it matters: U.K. law enforcement and security teams must assess exposure of their personnel details and monitor for targeting campaigns, while organizations sharing data with PNLD should review their own security posture and notification requirements.
