Names, addresses, phone numbers and social security numbers for police officers in Alabama have also been exposed, and a contact database associated with employees and clients of the internet company Matrix Group made public.
What's perhaps most bizarre, however, is that a recording has come to light of a hacker phoning up the hacked Boston Police department.
The caller speaks with a British accent and claims to be calling from England, via Skype (which explains the poor quality).
After being batted around the police department's telephone system for a while, and listening to some funky muzak, he eventually ends up speaking to a public information officer.
Here is a recording of part of the call:

And here's a partial transcript:
Caller: Your website has been defaced.
Police official: Yes, we're in the process of uh.. investigating it, but apparently someone hacked into our website, but we've..
Caller: Yeah that was me.
Police official: .. shut the website down at this time.
Caller: The person who did it was me.
Police official: You hacked into the website?
Caller: Yes sir.
Police official: Would you like to tell me why you did it?
Caller: AntiSec.
Police official: Is there a particular reason that you did it? Are you trying to prove a point? Or are you just picking on for us any particular reason? What's the problem?
Caller: Just got a bit bored, y'know.
Police official: I can't hear you sir.
Caller: I said, I said I got a bit bored.
Police official: You got a bit bored?
Caller: Yeah.
Police official: That's fine. Alright, well.. perhaps I can break your boredom if we can trace you back and come and put you in jail, we'll get a warrant for you - how's that?
Caller:Well, I'm not in America.
Police official: That's okay. That's alright. It doesn't make any difference where you're at.
Caller:So you're gonna [laughs] come and get me?
Police official: I'm gonna get on a plane in the next few minutes and head that way, start looking for you somewhere.
Caller:Bring it on.
The Boston Police department has asked all personnel to reset their passwords, and says that it is launching a full investigation into the reported incidents.
