Italian cyber-crime police hacked in AntiSec attack

The cyber-crime division of the Italian police, CNAIPIC, has been hacked, and 8GB of data taken, according to a Tweet made by the Anonymous IRC Twitter account. The hack was made as part of the AntiSec initiative that has been heavily promoted by Anonymous’s AnonOps faction and its Lulz Security spin-off. Describing the attacks in a Patsebin post , the hackers claim to have broken into a CNAIPIC evidence server, used to store evidence gathered during its investigations. Many documents were taken, including some with information about both private companies such as Gazprom and Exxon Mobil, and government bodies, including the US Department of Agriculture, and the Australian Ministry of Defence
