Hackers accused of using law enforcement tools and other tactics to extort people online gained access to a sensitive, password protected portal run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, according to a screenshot of the portal obtained by Motherboard.

The new screenshot and other information provides some more clarity on charges unsealed against Sagar Steven Singh, 19, and Nicholas Ceraolo, 25, earlier this week. That pair, who were at one point part of a group called “ViLE,” allegedly went on a wide-spanning hacking spree. That included breaking into the federal U.S. law enforcement portal; using a hacked Bangladeshi police officer’s email account to fraudulently request user data from a social media company; and trying to use it to buy facial recognition services too.
