Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) website went down on Friday due to "overloading," according to officials. The department stated that the website had not experienced a security breach and the website being down had not affected public safety. A group called Dark Storm claimed responsibility for the downtime on social media, but LAPD did not confirm this. The website usually provides access to department reports, crime statistics, and other documents.
