SNIP--- Update: Anonymous releases 90,000 military emails and passwords
Hackers claiming to be part of Anonymous said this afternoon that they had released some 90,000 military email addresses and passwords stolen from the servers of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton.
"We infiltrated a server on their network that basically had no security measures in place," they wrote. "We were able to run our own application, which turned out to be a shell and began plundering some booty. Most shiny is probably a list of roughly 90,000 military emails and password hashes (md5, non-salted of course!). We also added the complete sqldump, compressed ~50mb, for a good measure."
The files, under the title "Military Meltdown Monday," were released on bittorrent sharing website The Pirate Bay and became quickly available across the web.
Anonymous said Booz Allen was targeted for their involvement in numerous electronic surveillance programs, and quipping that it took just four hours to accomplish the hack.
The group added that they "found maps and keys for various other treasure chests buried on the islands of government agencies, federal contractors and shady whitehat companies.
"This material surely will keep our blackhat friends busy for a while."
A Booz Allen representative did not respond to a request for comment.
