Anonymous picks up Italian takeaway

HACKING GROUP ANONYMOUS has claimed another scalp and hacked into the Italian government.

The group posted 8GB of material yesterday, adding that it had come from the part of the government that deals with computer crime, which is rather fitting when you think about it.

In a blog post the group, well at least one part of the very loose, leaderless body, said that the attack was designed to expose corruption at the Italian computer cops, which are known locally as the Centro Nazionale Anticrimine Informatico per la Protezione delle Infrastrutture Critiche (CNAIPIC).

Announcing its spoils the group did not hold back on its criticisms of this apparently woeful organisations.

"This corrupted organization gathered all the evidence from the seized property of suspected computer professional entertainers and utilized it over many years to conduct illegal operations with foreign intelligence agencies and oligarchy to facilitate their lust for power and money, they never used obtained evidence to really support ongoing investigations," it said.

"Today we reveal a whole load of stuff from such owned institutions, just to make it clear all of this stuff was stored on CNAIPIC evidence servers for years while people are doing time in jail waiting for the trial while CNAIPIC used the evidence in the global spy game galore." µ
