Description

Maxney, a hacker of the Turkish Ajan group, claims to have breached the official website of Lexington (lexingtonky.gov), the second largest city in Kentucky, also known as the Horse Capital of the World, publishing a 1.5 Mb archive file that contains information apparently taken from the websites databases. The leaked files appear to contain audit information, work orders, user codes, neighborhood association data, and other details.
