Two weeks ago a hacker using the handle of HackBack compromised the web servers of Sindicat De Mossos d’Esquadra (SME) or the Catalan Police Union (www.sme-mossos.cat) and released highly classified information on officials as a protest against police brutality.
The hacker recorded the complete hack using only Kali Linux and released it on Youtube in a 39 Minute video. The Youtube video has since been removed (mirror can be found here)
A full write-up on the breach is located here.

The police revealed that the @FkPoliceAnonOps, was responsible for such a massive data leak. A message was posted as a Tweet from this group informing about the leak that has been carried out as a protest against the gag law.
The authorities disclosed that the @FkPoliceAnonOps, had been accountable for the large data leak.
