Hacktivist group Anonymous released thousands of sensitive Cambodian government documents in retaliation after the co-founder of The Pirate Bay was arrested.

Swedish Gottfrid Svartholm Warg was arrested after being deported from Cambodia over alleged copyright violations. Under an international warrant, The Pirate Bay (TPB) co-founder was extradited back to Sweden after being seized in Phnom Penh on Sep. 2, in order to begin a one-year prison sentence. The case was treated as an immigration violation as Cambodia has no extradition treaty with Sweden.

Cambodia is the latest country to come under sustained attack from computer hackers after police in the tiny Southeast Asian country arrested one of the founders of The Pirate Bay file-sharing website last week.
