Umm... the US Bureau of Justice isn't the name of a federal agency. This dump is actually from the Bureau of Justice <i>Statistics</i>[0].<p>[0]<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/computer-hackers-access-u-justice-department-website-spokeswoman-232535047.html?ugccmtnav=v1%2Fcomments%2Fcontext%2F986642c8-3460-3bff-b4ff-0a040e4ea433%2Fcomments%3Fcount%3D20%26sortBy%3Dlatest" rel="nofollow">http://news.yahoo.com/computer-hackers-access-u-justice-depa...</a>

Halfway through that incredibly overdramatic video, it shows chains around the globe, with each link labeled something like "Police State" ... "Military/Industrial Complex" ... etc. Then there is one labelled "Vaccines". Has anyone, acting as Anonymous, ever taken an anti-Vac stance? I would have expected Anon to be on the scientific side of that issue.

Well that's nice. I'm glad they stand for freedom of information. There's nothing here I couldn't have gotten with a simple Freedom of Information Act request. But I guess sending them a letter requesting the information isn't dramatic enough for Anon.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(United_States)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_Information_Act_(Uni...</a>

I don't understand why commenters here speak of a "they". There is no "they" and Anonymous is not a group. It's a label that anyone can put on themselves. They may as well call themselves "freedom fighters" (lowercase).

Has anyone analyzed this data? I'm curious what's in it.

Just think of what a service these people are doing to the world and to the government by raising awareness of data security issues :)

Even if they would find anything incriminating, what are kids going to do with this? It's clear by the messages on the anon news site that a lot of them are teens and not activists. It may be entertaining but I don't get it.
