A hacking collective calling itself the “Dark 07x team” has allegedly breached the official website and internal systems of the Ghana Police Service. In a post on a dark web forum, threat actors claimed to have executed a targeted operation, resulting in full control over the police service’s digital infrastructure. The group boasted about breaching internal systems and exfiltrating sensitive databases without being detected.
The Ghana Police Service is the main law enforcement body in the Republic of Ghana, making any compromise of its systems a significant national security concern. Screenshots shared by the attackers as proof of the breach appear to show access to a critical dashboard for managing police body cameras. The interface, labeled “AFRIFANOM POLICE BODY CAM,” displays a map for tracking officer locations, a file management system for video footage, and device statistics. One of the backend system dashboards features a Chinese-language interface, potentially revealing the manufacturer of the law enforcement equipment.
The evidence suggests the attackers gained deep access to police operations and sensitive data. The group claims to have emptied all databases associated with the compromised systems. Based on the provided screenshots, the allegedly accessed data includes:
- Police body camera video files, including a searchable database with timestamps.
- A Geographic Information System (GIS) for tracking police assets in real-time.
- Access to data categorized by police divisions such as “Ghana Police,” “ABLEKUMA NORTH,” and “COUNCIL OF STATE.”
- Information related to a “RECRUIT EXAM 2025.”
