1.71 TB of Summerville Police Files Offered With Intelligence and Identity Records
A forum actor posting as NOTORIOUS is selling what they describe as 1.71 TB of material taken from the Summerville Police Department in South Carolina. The two proof samples are of very different kinds. The first is an internal intelligence document on departmental letterhead, marked for police use only and not for dissemination, listing named individuals with dates of birth, recorded aliases and alleged gang affiliations. The second is a set of identity documents for a single named person, comprising a social security card, a state driving licence with photograph and a certified birth certificate naming both parents. No record count or intrusion method is given. The claim is unverified.

☷Mapped techniques
The post describes no intrusion method. All entries are inferred from the artefacts, not stated.
- Collection T1213 Data from information repositories Inferred Intelligence products and scanned case attachments sit together in departmental records systems rather than in any single public source.
- Collection T1530 Data from cloud storage Inferred A volume of this size is consistent with a document and media store, most likely including case files, images and recordings, rather than a database export.
- Exfiltration T1567 Exfiltration over web service Inferred Proof images are hosted externally and the sale is arranged through a messaging contact. The route out of the environment is not described.
⚠Potential impact
Police intelligence lists record suspicion, not conviction, and the people named in them have no way to contest an entry they were never told about. Exposure of a document like this risks retaliation, misidentification and lasting harm to people who may never have been charged, and several of the birth years shown indicate entries compiled when the individuals were children. The identity documents raise a separate problem: a social security number, a photographic licence and a birth certificate together form a complete and permanent identity kit, none of which can be reissued to undo the disclosure. If 1.71 TB is accurate, the sample is a fragment and the rest will contain case material, witnesses and complainants.
iStatus Unverified
The evidence offered is two images and a size figure, with no record count, no file listing and no account of how the material was obtained. The account is recent and carries no standing, and posted a separate government leak claim hours earlier, which is a pattern worth weighing. Dark Web Informer has not retrieved the files and is not linking them, nor the contact address. The department has not publicly addressed the claim.
