Islamic State hackers say they are behind MN officers ‘kill list’

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (WCCO/CNN) – ISIS hackers claimed responsibility for releasing a list of Minnesota police officers.

The so-called “kill list” includes the name, email, address and phone number for dozens of officers across the state.

“It is troubling to have that type of information online for the public to see,” said Kyle Loven, FBI spokesperson.

The FBI is investigating how the hackers got the information and the motive behind releasing it.

Officers’ safety is at the forefront.

“We’re not going to look into whether or not this is a legitimate threat or an illegitimate threat,” Loven said. “We’re going to take it and move forward with respect to what it is that we have to do in addressing this matter.”

An email from the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association may shed light on what the officers have in common. For the full article click here
