Hack Of Oath Keepers Militia Group Includes Names Of Active NYPD Officers, De Blasio Launches Investigation

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office said it will scrutinize NYPD ranks following a WNYC/Gothamist investigation of online records that appears to tie several New York law enforcement officers and public officials—including at least two active members of the NYPD—to a far-right, anti-government militia.

The mayor’s investigation comes after an anonymous hacker released what it claims are emails and membership data from the Oath Keepers, an extremist militia group that had a notable presence at the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. Eighteen people affiliated with the group have so far been charged with conspiracy related to that event.

The hacked membership records were sent to a transparency nonprofit group called Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets), which shares leaked data with journalists and researchers. The records posted on the internet Monday do not make clear if the members listed are currently active in the militia.

Shocking.

I can't seem to find my shocked face.

[mskitkat]

I’m really interested - in a horrified way - to see what comes out of the Epik hack. I hope a lot of bad people lose their jobs.

[Jalapeñomel]

New York City cops, they ain’t too smart.

[ksun]

You don't say.

Oh good. I'm not the only one who kind of expects this.

Just cops from NYC? Honestly, I’d find it surprising if the majority of cops weren’t associated with it or other similar groups.

NYPD related:

The FBI on Tuesday raided the offices of a New York City police union in Manhattan.

In addition to executing a search warrant at the headquarters of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, an FBI spokesperson said the bureau was also searching a home in the Long Island suburb of Port Washington.

That home belongs to the SBA's outspoken leader, Ed Mullins, sources told NBC News.

Chad Bianco, the Sheriff in Riverside County, CA was also found to be a member. It'll probably just give him even more support. 🙄

So they simultaneously want union protection and the freedom to be racist?

Unfortunately you're right. Its already circulating down here.   He deleted his Twitter right after then blamed it on his wife.

That sounds about right. Unfortunately.
