Hackers hit Italian cyber-police
Hackers have started to release gigabytes of secret documents stolen from an Italian cybercrime unit.
The 8GB of files has been stolen from the network of the Italian CNAIPIC which oversees the country's critical IT infrastructure.
In a message announcing the release, the Anonymous hacker group said it received the files from a "source".
The hacking attack attack on CNAIPIC is thought to be in retaliation for arrests of Italian members of Anonymous.
Links to the first few confidential files purportedly illegally taken from CNAIPIC were placed on the Pastebin website. Anonymous claims the files were taken from the evidence servers of CNAIPIC.
The documents have information about government offices such as Australia's Ministry of Defence and the US Department of Agriculture as well as data about private firms Gazprom, Exxon Mobil and many others.
Preview images also shared by Anonymous reveal the management structure of CNAIPIC. Hackers also stolen pictures of staff and long list of official documents.
Officers from Italy's cybercrime division carried out a series of raids on homes of suspected Anonymous members in early July. Three hackers were arrested as a result of raids.
