A nonprofit organization affiliated with the FBI confirmed that hackers breached the web servers of multiple chapters and published the names and addresses of hundreds of law enforcement personnel and thousands of other people online, NBC News reports.

The hacked materials, which were released late last week and obtained Sunday by NBC News, include names, job descriptions, email addresses and, in some cases, street addresses of more than 23,000 people in multiple databases. More than 1,000 of the email addresses belong to the FBI.gov domain and the domains of other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

In a statement, FBI National Academy Associates, an organization supporting graduates of the FBI Academy, confirmed that the websites of three of its local chapters were breached and that "personal information has been obtained to be sold on the web."

The materials appear to have been made public as a proof of concept, establishing that the hackers are to be taken seriously. The hacking group — which NBC News isn't naming, along with other information that could lead to the materials — said it was in possession of even more sensitive information that it hoped to sell.

Hamden Police are working to identify a man who is accused of stealing multiple fragrances from a T.J. Maxx store last week.

Officers were called to the T.J. Maxx store on Dixwell Avenue on Friday after getting a report of shoplifting.

Police said a Loss Prevention Associate told them that a man with a beard, wearing a black coat and blue jeans exited the store with "four bottles of fragrances."

When the man was approached by a store employee, police said the man pushed past her and got into a white SUV.

The stolen items are valued at $54.46, according to officers.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Daniel Allen of the Hamden Police Department Patrol Division at (203) 230-4030.

Route 138 in Lisbon is closed after a crash involving a dump truck.

Police said the road is closed between Bushnell and Ross Hill roads after the single-vehicle crash.

No additional information was immediately available.

Crews battled a house fire on Route 148 in Killingworth on Monday morning.

It is unknown if anyone was injured in the fire.

A road and bridge are closed after a roof partially collapsed at an abandoned mill in Pawcatuck and landed in the Pawcatuck River on Monday morning.

Stonington Police and the Pawcatuck Fire Department responded to the former Connecticut Casting Mill on Stillman Avenue in Pawcatuck after getting a report of a partial roof collapse during the storm.

The mill, which is on the Connecticut-Rhode Island state lines, is old and has been abandoned, according to police.

Part of the roof that collapsed landed in the Pawcatuck River, according to First Selectman Rob Simmons. The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has been contacted.

The abandoned mill, which dates back to 1838, is privately owned and there is a tax lien on the building. The roof of the building has been deteriorating for some time and the town has tried to contact the owners repeatedly, but they have not gotten a response, Simmons said.

The Town of Stonington offered the building on a tax sale last year, but there were no bidders, Simmons added.

Stillman Avenue and the Stillman Avenue Bridge, which is between Connecticut and Rhode Island, are both closed. Police said roads could be impacted for 24 hours.

Stonington officials are working to determine what to do with the building.

A deal between Dominion Energy and the state’s two electric utilities will keep the Millstone nuclear facility in Waterford operating for another decade, according to the governor’s office. The agreement is pending review by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.

The facility has 1,500 employees.

Governor Ned Lamont said in a statement Monday morning that Dominion and the electric utilities reached an agreement last month to keep the facility open for another decade and the shutdown of the plant would “have exposed the New England region to a nearly 25 percent increase in carbon emissions, increased risk of rolling blackouts, billions of dollars in power replacement costs, and the loss of more than 1,500 well-paying jobs …”

Millstone is Waterford’s top employer and taxpayer and $29.7 million in local taxes, according to the governor’s office.

“The premature loss of Millstone would have been awful for our state and region, spiking energy prices, reversing our progress on cutting carbon emissions, and endangering the reliability of the grid,” Lamont said in a statement. “I want to thank the utilities for coming to the table to advance a better deal for Millstone’s power, cutting in half the incremental cost to Connecticut ratepayers of keeping the plant open for the next decade.”

A West Haven man is accused of crashing his SUV into a motorcyclist during a road rage incident in Orange on Saturday evening and causing life-threatening injuries.

Police have charged 63-year-old Jerzy Narowski, 63, of West Haven, with assault in the first degree, reckless endangerment in the first degree, improper lane change, reckless driving and evading the scene of a motor vehicle crash.

Officers responded to Route 34 west just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday after receiving reports of a crash involving an SUV and a motorcycle and they found the motorcyclist in the road. His helmet was off and he sustained a life-threatening head injury, police said.

The man received medical attention at the scene and was transported to an area hospital.

Witnesses described a “road-rage” incident with Narowski and the motorcyclist arguing along Route 34.

Police said Narowski swerved his vehicle into the path of the motorcycle, then swerved at the motorcycle again and hit it.

The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike on the pavement and his helmet came off before he stopped moving.

Police said the driver of the SUV had left the scene, but witnesses gave a description and Derby offices found a vehicle matching the description in their town.

Narowski was held on $75,000 bond.

Anyone who saw what happened is asked to call Officer Denny Peterson at 203-891-2130, extension 409.

The Accident Reconstruction Team will determine whether any additional charges will be filed.

A Carnival cruise ship helped the U.S. Coast Guard rescue almost two dozen Cubans who had been adrift at sea for a week in the Gulf of Mexico, authorities said Monday.

After a Coast Guard aircrew spotted the stranded Cubans at about 8:40 a.m. Sunday about 130 miles off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, it radioed for any nearby help, officials said and NBC News reported.

The Carnival Fantasy — while en route from Cozumel to Mobile, Alabama — heard the Coast Guard's distress call and raced to meet the 23 people stuck on a sports fishing vessel at about 10:47 a.m., according to a company statement.

The harrowing journey began a week ago when 22 people boarded a wooden boat in Cuba, headed for Mexico, when its engines lost power and became adrift at sea for three days, the Coast Guard said. Those original 22 travelers were picked up by a Cuban-Mexican national in his sports fishing vessel before that craft also lost power, and was adrift at sea for another three days, according to the Coast Guard.

Twenty-one legislators from both sides of the table have joined forces to ask for an investigation into how insurance carriers changed their policies to avoid covering homes with crumbling foundations.

In a letter to Gov. Ned Lamont, Attorney General William Tong and the Insurance Commissioner Andrew Mais, lawmakers are calling for subpoenas or a formal investigation to determine what lead to insurance companies dropping coverage, forcing taxpayers and homeowners to foot the bill.

The letter states that there are documented cases of insurance providers canceling homeowners’ policies due to cracking foundations. The Insurance Department issued a warning last week reminding insurers that state law prohibits canceling or non-renewing a policy or increasing premiums based on a claim or inquiry made on their insurance policy, including concerns about crumbling foundations. 

Discussion of a potential investigation into a possible Connecticut Unfair Insurance Practices Act (CUIPA) was brought up during former Attorney General George Jepsen’s administration in July 2016, but the investigation was never initiated.

“The taxpayers and homeowner insurance policy holders of Connecticut are currently footing the bill for this catastrophe. The time has come for a CUIPA investigation,” the letter states.

NBC Connecticut Investigates first broke the story on crumbling foundations over three years ago. Lawmakers say the issue impacts thousands of homeowners in 42 cities and towns in Connecticut.

April 15 is a day on the calendar that some dread. If you haven’t filed your taxes yet, you’re probably not alone.

In fact, experts say 20 to 25 percent of Americans wait until the last 14 days before the deadline to prepare their returns.

Whether you’re sitting down with a tax preparer or filing from home, make sure to have all of your tax documents. If you’re using a tax preparation software, limit any distractions and follow the instructions closely.

“The application does the work. You just have to make sure that you’re putting the numbers in correctly and that you’re filling out all of the forms,” said Elizabeth Horton Sheff, a local tax preparer.

Sheff says the tax software is built around the new tax laws.

“With the new tax law, there is a possibility that your refund will be lower that it was in previous years,” said Horton Sheff.

Also, it’s not too late to make a few last minute moves that could trim your bill and save you money.

Here’s how:

1. Make an IRA contribution: You can deduct up to $5,500 in IRA contributions and add another $1,000 “catch up” contribution if you’re over age 50. 401K plan participants can still fully deduct IRA contributions if your adjusted gross income is less than $63,000 for singles, or $101,000 for married couples.
2. Contribute to a health savings account: If your health coverage for 2018 was considered a high-deductible insurance plan, you can still contribute to a health savings account and claim it as a deduction on your 2018 taxes, regardless of your income. But you’ll need to set up an HSA and fund it before tonight’s filing deadline.
3. Write off business expenses: You should file a Schedule C tax form. As a general rule, freelancers can write off expenses for business-related meals, lodging, office expenses and required equipment or materials.
4. Add up dependent care costs: Parents can claim up to 35 percent of their child care expenses yearly or up to $3,000 for a single child and $6,000 for two or more kids. The credit, which varies depending on the taxpayers’ earned income, only applies if you are single and working, or if both parents are working.
5. If you need more time, get an extension: That would give you until October 15 to submit your 2018 return. While that extension grants additional time to file, tax payments are still due.

Another thing to watch out of – fraudsters. Last year, the IRS stopped more than 600,000 identity theft tax returns. But fraudsters are now targeting tax professionals, human resource departments and anyone who handles payroll. If you’re a victim of identity theft, file a police report, contact the IRS, all three credit bureaus, document everything and stay in contact with the IRS.

All around the world, people were united in grief and shock as a fire engulfed the historic Notre Dame cathedral in the heart of Paris, NBC News reports.

Nicolas Marang, 47, has lived in Paris for more than 25 years and told NBC News he was running along the Seine River when he saw the smoke, which looked like a "dark smog," coming from the Notre Dame.

"Something just collapsed inside me. [It was] one of the worst things I've ever seen," Marang said.

People across the world began recounting their experiences and appreciation of the cathedral's beauty on social media. One Twitter user said that he first visited the church at 7 years old."It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I'd visit the cathedral each time I was in Paris just to be moved and astonished. This is heartbreaking," he wrote.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York, tweeted on Monday that he prayed for the Paris landmark after hearing of the fire. President Donald Trump called the Notre Dame one of the "great treasures of the world" during an economic roundtable event in Minnesota. Former first lady and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said in a tweet that her heart went out to Paris.

Court documents reveal federal prosecutors filed criminal charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in late 2017, NBC News reports, more than two months earlier than the indictment disclosed when he was arrested last week.

Assange was taken into custody April 11 after spending more than six years under the protection of Ecuador's embassy in London. A federal indictment unsealed after his arrest accused him of trying to help a U.S. Army private crack an encrypted password to hack into a Pentagon computer and steal classified documents.

But charges for the same offense were actually filed in secret on December 21, 2017, in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. The 26-page affidavit accompanying the charges listed what it said were hundreds of online exchanges between Assange and Chelsea Manning, the former Army private who provided hundreds of thousands of government documents to WikiLeaks, many of them classified.

Despite filing the criminal charges, the Justice Department sought a grand jury indictment only a few months later in order to make a stronger case for extradition in the event Assange was arrested, an administration official said Monday.

Local leaders are voicing concern as President Donald Trump doubles down on a new immigration policy targeting sanctuary cities.

Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin has long been an opponent of the president’s immigration policy, welcoming undocumented immigrants to the Capital City.

“We’re not afraid of immigrants. We’re a city that has been strengthened decade after decade by immigration,” said Mayor Bronin.

Now, the federal government may take him up on that offer.

“They want more people in their sanctuary cities, well we'll give them more people. We can give them a lot, we can give them an unlimited supply,” Trump said Friday.

The president now says instead of sending the hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking asylum back over the border he’ll bus them to sanctuary cities and states, where illegal immigrants are protected instead of prosecuted.

“They're always saying they have open arms. Let's see if they have open arms,” said Trump.

Despite a flurry of opposition to the idea over the weekend, the president doubled down on the directive in a tweet he sent Monday afternoon.

“Those Illegal Immigrants who can no longer be legally held will be, subject to Homeland Security, given to Sanctuary Cities and States!” Trump tweeted.

“Let them come,” said Jeff Romanchuck, a Hartford resident. “Come on, they’re people, they’re human beings. They got kids. Who’s going to turn their back on a kid? I can’t.”

Bronin added that if the president is serious about this plan the Capital City will do its best to provide services to all residents.

“I think that’s fundamental to our values as a city and our values as a country,” said Bronin.

“I don’t know if it’s a good idea or a bad idea, but I think everybody should be here who’s running away from danger from their own country,” said Vernon Harris, also of Hartford.

Joshua Daniel, of New Britain, works in Hartford and says the city has to focus on its own financial future first.

“I think it’s a bad idea. We have a lot going on here,” he said pointing to pot holes in the street. “I feel like fix what we’ve got going on here and then we can welcome other people here.”

The mayor wouldn’t say whether his administration is developing a plan to deal with an influx of people but called the president’s response to the immigration crisis, “irresponsible.”

“An outrageous use of federal resources,” Bronin said.

He also questioned whether the plan was even legal.

“This is not a serious proposal and Donald Trump is trying to do what he always does which is create chaos and fear that he can then exploit for political purposes,” said Bronin.

New Haven is another sanctuary city.

Mayor Toni Harp commented on the president’s proposal telling NBC Connecticut, “....for as long as I’m mayor, New Haven will continue its open-arms tradition for those fleeing oppression in other countries and for those who seek a better life here.”
