A security breach on Sunday night left Planned Parenthood Federation of America employees vulnerable, after hundreds of names and e-mail addresses were leaked.
According to an article from the Los Angeles Times:
The names and contact information for more than 300 Planned Parenthood employees have been published on a private website hosted by a group of hackers, part of an organization called 3301.
The hack comes as Planned Parenthood is battling controversy over the release of a series of heavily edited undercover videos, released by an antiabortion group that accuses Planned Parenthood of illegally profiting off selling fetal parts for medical research.
Planned Parenthood has condemned the videos as misleading and strongly denied wrongdoing. Republicans have called for the federal government to withdraw funding from Planned Parenthood, including a Monday announcement by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a presidential candidate, promising a Senate vote soon on cutting off funds.
