Cyber Attack at ODIN Intelligence Discloses a Massive Trove of Police Raid Files

These documents are part of a sizable data cache that was taken from the internal servers of ODIN Intelligence, a tech company that offers software and services to law enforcement agencies, after its website was hacked and defaced over the weekend.

In a message posted on ODIN’s website, the group responsible for the hack claimed that it had attacked the business after its founder and CEO Erik McCauley denied a Wired report that found the company’s flagship app SweepWizard, which is used by police to coordinate and plan multiagency raids, was insecure and leaked sensitive information about upcoming police operations to the open web.
