It looks like the PoliceOne forums were hacked:

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/hacker-steals-thousands-of-accounts-from-police-forum

It appears the hacker is posting usernames and email addresses, but it looks like the passwords are hashed/salted (i.e. not available for the badguy to use).  I'd still recommend changing your password(s) if you used something common across multiple sites.

Mods:  If this is posted in the wrong forum I apologize, just assumed that it would reach the most relevant audience here.

Considering I was a featured writer at the time....  (Shrugs)
