Anonymous hacks government contractor

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 31 Jul 2011 2:43 User comments (6)

Anonymous hacks government contractor AntiSec, the group formed by Anonymous and LulzSec, has claimed a new victim, the government security contractor ManTech International.
The group published 400MB of internal documents to the Pirate Bay last night.

ManTech has the FBI, the departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, Energy and Justice and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as customers.

Reads the message with the leaked documents:

[W]e pwned ManTech utterly and throughly; and we did not need hundreds of millions for it. In fact, we did not require any funds at all, we did it with Lulz.

We are providing these ManTech documents so the public can see for themselves how their tax money is being spent. But don't you worry, the U.S. is a rich country and can afford to waste money, right?


Most of the documents involve ManTech's dealings with NATO.

Wow, what a worthless bunch of crap...pictures, purchase orders, resumes, rosters, inventories. *Yawn*. I could have found more "#antisec" on my mom's comp. Afraid you'll need to be more competent if you want to keep the FBI from imprisoning your brethren. Pictures of a help desk dude at his desk in Afghanistan..damn, the nation is really going to shit. GIANT Fail - Total Hype. I hope these guys are relying on more than social media to make their point.


Sums it up.
