The Antisec hacker movement, which targets the websites of governments and their agencies worldwide, on Monday hacked into the website of defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. The group posted a 130 MB file of data stolen from Booz Allen’s servers on the Pirate Bay BitTorrent website. In an accompanying press release, Antisec sneered at Booz Allen’s security and said it had stolen about 90,000 military emails as well as a great deal of passwords. The passwords are protected by the MD5 cryptographic hash function, though that protection can be cracked.
