The FBI is investigating, said William Roper, the association's president and the police chief of Ranson, W.Va., reports the Associated Press via CBS.

He said the hackers obtained the home addresses, home phone numbers and cellphone numbers of current and retired police chiefs from a website that has not been used in two years. The association has a new website but some information was still stored on the old one.
