Previously, Anonymous posted several Turkish government websites to ThePirateBay. Now, they are posting content of FBI contractor IRC Federal to ThePirateBay.

Apparently, as part of their “Fuck FBI Friday” campaign, Anonymous has posted content from IRC Federal. It apparently contains contracts, development schematics, internal documents, and, of course, private e-mails. It’s all been posted to BitTorrent filesharing site ThePirateBay. From the statement in the release:
Today we release the ownage of another government-contracted IT company, IRC Federal. They brag about their multi-million dollar partnership with the FBI, Army, Navy, NASA, and the Department of Justice, selling out their “skills” to the US empire. So we laid nuclear waste to their systems, owning their pathetic windows box, dropping their databases and private emails, and defaced their professional looking website.
In their emails we found various contracts, development schematics, and internal documents for various government institutions including a proposal for the FBI to develop a “Special Identities Modernization (SIM) Project” to “reduce terrorist and criminal activity by protecting all records associated with trusted individuals and revealing the identities of those individuals who may pose serious risk to the United States and its allies”. We also found fingerprinting contracts for the DOJ, biometrics development for the military, and strategy contracts for the “National Nuclear Security Administration Nuclear Weapons Complex”.
Additionally we found login info to various VPNs and several Department of Energy login access panels that we are dumping *live* complete with some URLs to live ASP file browser and upload backdoors – let’s see how long it takes for them to remove it (don’t worry we’ll keep putting it back up until they pull the box ;D)
Before we begin the drop, a personal message to the employees of IRC Federal:
If you place any value on freedom, then stop working for the oligarchy and start working against it. Stop aiding the corporations and a government which uses unethical means to corner vast amounts of wealth and proceed to flagrantly abuse their power. Together, we have the power to change this world for the better.
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetuate it.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
Props to our black hat and antisec comrades: bantown, dikline, h0no, phrack high council, ~el8 and all you kick-ass motherfuckers we’ve never even heard of. Thank you.
The release appears to be 103MB in size. The implications of this latest release remains to be seen. The release was also apparently for the 4th of July, but was delayed due to generally undisclosed reasons until now.
