Anonymous Leaks 10,000 ‘Top Secret’ Iranian Gov’t Emails

The Hactivist group Anonymous has been busy stealing email from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The 10K ‘Top Secret’ emails have already been leaked to the Internet and can be downloaded from MediaFire. Anonymous vows to maintain the attacks on Iran as long as they are needed.

The initial attack apparently took place a number of days ago, and the Iranian government has been actively trying to keep news of the breach covered up. An Anonymous member said that the attacks were carried out in an attempt to damage Iran’s image in "both cyber space and the real world." Tehran has yet to admit publicly that the breach and data theft even occurred.
