During the attacks, personal data from court records in Alabama was reportedly
“exposed” as well as emails from a Mexican mining company.
The stolen data was allegedly relating to 46,000 people who had taken part in
a court amnesty for overdue traffic tickets and other fines.
It included home addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and social
security numbers, hackers claimed on social media site Twitter.
The group said the attack was in response to the state of Alabama’s “recent
racist legislation in an attempt to punish immigrants as criminals”,
CNN said.
This is not the first time the CIA website has been attacked by hackers.
Last month the site went offline temporarily around the same time, 3pm on a
Friday afternoon, with Anonymous claiming credit for the attack.
Anonymous hackers have also targeted the FBI and the Department of Homeland
Security.
