Two men, one of whom previously presented themselves as an independent security researcher to Motherboard, allegedly went on a wide spanning hacking spree that included breaking into a federal U.S. law enforcement database; using a compromised Bangladeshi police officer’s email to fraudulently requesting user data from a social media company; and even trying to buy services from a facial recognition company which doesn’t sell products to the wider public.

The news highlights hackers' continued interest in accessing novel sources of personal information, and the extreme risk in what can happen when hackers compromise those databases or accounts.
