AZ lawmaker outraged at hacking of DPS

PHOENIX -- Arizona House Speaker Andy Tobin is expressing outrage that a group hacked into the state Department of Public Safety's computer system and is posting hundreds of files online.

The disclosures include names, phone numbers and addresses of some officers.

Tobin says the action puts officers and their families at risk. And he says he's particularly troubled that the hacking is said to be a response to Arizona's enactment of SB1070, a 2010 law on illegal immigration enforcement.

The Paulden Republican says the group should be prosecuted to the full extent possible.

He also says lawmakers will consider whether additional steps are needed to hold those responsible accountable if the disclosures result in harm to officers and their families.
