The website of Odin Intelligence, which provides technology and equipment to law enforcement and police departments, was hacked on Sunday.

The apparent hacking comes days later. Wired reported SweepWizard, an app developed by the company that allows police to manage and coordinate multi-agency raids, exposed the personal information of police suspects and the confidentiality of upcoming police operations on the open web.

ODIN offers applications like SweepWizard and other technologies for law enforcement departments. In addition, a service called SONAR, or the Sex Offender Notification and Registration System, is used by state and local law enforcement to remotely monitor registered sex offenders. But the company has been the subject of controversy. Last year, ODIN was announced to market facial recognition technology Identification of homeless people And he describes those skills in dismissive and derogatory terms.

It’s unclear who compromised Odin’s website or how the hackers got in, but a recent Wired report quoted ODIN founder and CEO Eric McCauley as saying that the SwipeWizard app is insecure and leaking information.

“So we decided to hack them,” said a message on Odin’s website.

The defamation text is ambiguous as to whether the hackers extracted data from Odin’s system.

Emma Best, co-founder of the nonprofit Transparency DDoSecretsHe told TechCrunch that the data was extracted from Odin’s servers and that the company is in possession of it. “We received the information the other day and are processing it,” Best said.

The defamation memo contains three large archive files totaling more than 16 gigabytes, each named after Odin’s organization, sex offender information and the SweepWizard application. The hackers leave a hash of a unique string of letters and numbers that serves as a signature for each file. DDoSecrets better verify that the received files match the hash in the error post.

The assembly includes keys for Amazon Web Services and appears to belong to ODIN. TechCrunch could not immediately confirm that the keys belonged to ODIN, but the keys correspond to an instance on AWS’ GovCloud, which stores more sensitive police and law enforcement data.

Odin CEO Eric McCauley did not return emails from TechCrunch asking questions about the outage and apparent breach, but Odin’s compromised website went offline a short time later.
