Another defense contractor's network and data has apparently fallen to the combined skills of hackers attacking Websites under the "AntiSec" banner.
Members of hacktivist collective Anonymous have reportedly breached servers belonging to defense contractor Vanguard Defense Industries as part of the movement to steal and publicize documents from government agencies, according to a report in the TechHerald. Anonymous may have extracted nearly 4,713 emails and thousands of documents in this attack.
Anonymous has gone after a number of defense contractors and government agencies recently as part of AntiSec, including Booz Allen Hamilton and InfraGard, a public-private partnership organization working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "Any private corporation[s] supporting U.S. military or law enforcement operations are legitimate targets in our eyes," a member told the TechHerald, justifying the attack on VDI.
