Anonymous hacks Russian pipeline company Transneft
The Anonymous collective has reportedly hacked the in-house R&D unit of Transneft, Russia’s state-controlled oil pipeline company, dubbed Omega Company. The group claims to have stolen 79 GB of emails and posted them on the site of the nonprofit whistleblower organisation Distributed Denial of Secrets.
The leaked emails appear to include the contents of many email accounts belonging to corporate personnel, including file attachments with invoices and product shipment data, as well as picture files depicting server racks and other equipment configurations.
