By Libor Jany and Richard WintonLos Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — A trove of sensitive LAPD records, including officer personnel files and documents from Internal Affairs investigations, are among the materials believed to have been seized by hackers in a breach last month involving the L.A. city attorney’s office. Among the first to post a file from the suspected hack was the account @WhosTheCop, which regularly posts about information related to police accountability. Under state law, most police officer records are considered private. In all, according to posts about the data breach, there were 7.7 terabytes of information available for download and more than 337,000 files. The trove included sensitive records turned over as part of discovery in court cases, such as witness names, health information, unredacted criminal complaints and investigative files.
