Someone hacked into computers at three Oklahoma law enforcement agencies 
and may have stolen private information meant only for police use, the 
state Department of Public Safety announced Friday.


Details of the extent of the security compromise remained sketchy 
Friday, but officials said only the Elk City and Eufaula police 
departments and the Kiowa County Sheriff Department were affected.

The Department of Public Safety is urging anyone who has had contact 
with those agencies to check for any suspicious charges on credit cards 
or to obtain a credit report as soon as possible. Even people pulled

Highway Patrol.
