Anonymous says it stole 90,000 military emails from defense firm

The group said it hacked into a Booz Allen Hamilton server, ran its own application, and uncovered the unsecured emails.

“In this line of work you'd expect them to sail the seven proxseas with a state-of-the-art battleship, right? Well you may be as surprised as we were when we found their vessel being a puny wooden barge”, Anonymous said in its PirateBay post entitled “Military Meltdown Monday: Mangling Booz Allen Hamilton".

“We also were able to access their svn, grabbing 4gb of source code. But this was deemed insignificant and a waste of valuable space, so we merely grabbed it, and wiped it from their system”, Anonymous added.

“And last but not least we 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”, the group concluded.

In a tweet, Booz Allen Hamilton said that “we generally do not comment on specific threats or actions taken against our systems.”
