The latest attack in the infamous "#antisec" movement targeted Booz Allen Hamilton, a consulting firm who works with the US government. Anonymous claims to have infiltrated an unprotected server and were able to steal a significant amount of data.

They claim to have released email addresses belonging to more than 90,000 US military personnel. While many folks downplay the significance of the attack and say "It's only email addresses", these particular email addresses may have more value than it would appear.

If we look back at the high-profile Gmail accounts that were hacked earlier this year, there clearly is demand for information about individuals related to the US defense that can be used to compromise their accounts and computers.
