Grip it and rip it posted:

Looks like hacker groups have been using emergency information requests made from compromised law enforcement email accounts to get personal information on individuals. They've even gone so far as to sell the service on the dark web for some fairly reasonable rates (~$200)

Exigent circumstances requests were probably the shittiest part of my career in the far-off past. I didn't personally handle anything really bad (just walking a person from another country with barely incomprehensible English through the process for something urgent but not terribly bad) but plenty of my co-workers did.
