Private financial records of US celebrities and politicians posted online The site, which bears an internet suffix originally assigned to the Soviet Union, expanded throughout the day on Monday to add entries on Britney Spears, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and others. Several of the purported credit reports appear to have been generated last week. Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the LAPD would also investigate the posting of information on any celebrities who live in the city. He said confidential information on senior police officials has been posted online at least twice before. "People get mad at us, go on the internet and try to find information about us, and post it all on one site," Mr Smith said. "The best word I can use to describe it is creepy," he said about the practice known as doxxing. It's a creepy thing to do. Frank Preciado, assistant officer in charge at the LAPD online section, said the postings are also illegal. He said the information was likely taken from what is supposed to be a secure database of city employees. Several of the pages featured unflattering pictures of the celebrities or government officials whose information was posted.
