“Singh and Ceraolo unlawfully used a police officer’s stolen password to access a restricted database maintained by a federal law enforcement agency that contains (among other data) detailed, nonpublic records of narcotics and currency seizures, as well as law enforcement intelligence reports,” it states. That pursuit of personal information is what allegedly drew Singh and Ceraolo to breaking into various law enforcement accounts. In one case, the pair allegedly used a police officer’s credentials to access a web portal maintained by a U.S. federal law enforcement agency. Nearly immediately, Singh used this new access to gain information about and then extort specific people, the feds allege. Beyond access to the U.S. federal law enforcement database, Ceraolo allegedly accessed the official email address of a Bangladeshi police official between February 2022 and May 2022.
