A group of Islamic State affiliates posted the names and addresses of dozens of New Jersey police officers on the web and encouraged the carrying out of "lone wolf" attacks on them, Newsweek reports.

The chilling breach of security occurred as a group called The Caliphate Cyber Army released personal details of 55 officers after hacking into the official website of the New Jersey Transit police.

"The lone wolves r hungry for yr [sic] blood," one of the alleged terrorists wrote in a tweet, according to Newsweek.

New Jersey Transit officials said they are working with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to crack the case.
