A hacktivist group on Friday published 296GB of data allegedly stolen from US law enforcement agencies and fusion centers. Dubbed BlueLeaks, the files were posted online by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a group that promotes itself as a "transparency collective."

The stolen data was published online, easily searchable on Google. The BlueLeaks portal says that the leak is a collection of more than a million documents, emails, videos, audio files, and other important files from the police force.

According to DDoSecrets, the leaked documents are an accumulation of ten-years-worth of files that belong to more than 200 law enforcement fusion centers and police departments across the United States. Most of the files are FBI and police reports, law enforcement guides, security bulletins, and many more. Some are also purported to contain personal and sensitive information, including phone numbers, bank account numbers, complete names, and addresses.

Unsurprisingly, the BlueLeaks data was allegedly sent to DDoSecrets by the infamous hacktivist group, Anonymous. On the BlueLeaks portal, the files listed are labeled "Nutsential.com Inc.," a Texas web hosting company.

The authenticity of the leak, according to a report by KrebsOnSecurity, has since been confirmed by the National Fusion Center Association (NFCA), the central association that represents all fusion centers in America. It was reportedly confirmed over an internal security alert sent to its members.

According to the NFCA, the data, according to a preliminary analysis, have indeed come from Nutsential's servers, which provides web hosting services to many US fusion centers and law enforcement agencies.

For the uninitiated, a fusion center is an association that acts as coordination centers and intermediaries between local and state law enforcement and federal US government agencies. It has involvement in the training of officers, as well as relaying federal instructions, guides, and alerts from the central government to local police stations and vice versa.

People have been studying the BlueLeaks data over the weekend, and they have already identified several law enforcement guides and security alerts shared by fusion centers. The most recent communication is dated June 4.

Some of the alerts are those from the Black lives Matter protests in America, containing points of focus for the police and instructions.

It's not the first leak from DDoSecrets, which has been dubbed the "alternative to Wikileaks." Previously, the group exposed corruption scandals, including several governments across the globe.

DDoSecrets has been featured on CNN, The NY Times, and other major publications.
