Oklahoma: Law Enforcement System Breached
Josh Rabe writes on NewsOK.com:
Private information may have been leaked inadvertently from a statewide law enforcement computer system at three Oklahoma law enforcement agencies.More here.
The Department of Public Safety announced Friday it discovered the first-ever security breach in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunication System, which could put some Oklahomans at risk for identity theft.
The breach affected only the Elk City and Eufaula Police Departments and Kiowa County Sheriff's Office, Capt. Chris West said. The agency is urging anyone who has had contact with those agencies to check their credit report as soon as possible to see whether their information has been compromised.
West initially would not say in what timeframe the breach occurred or how long security had been compromised at those locations.
The system allows communication between 911 operators and law enforcement officers. It displays the call for service on a computer screen and instant access to all types of local, state, and federal law enforcement databases.
