The hacktivist group AntiSec says it has released a gigabyte of
private documents from Vanguard Defense Industries, including e-mails
from an executive connected with a cybersecurity organization it has
targeted previously.

Describing InfraGard as "a sinister alliance," AntiSec gloated about
this latest breach:
    It is our pleasure to make a mockery of InfraGard for the third time,
    once again dumping their internal meeting notes, membership rosters,
    and other private business matters.
...

AntiSec said the new breach was perpetrated "not only to cause
embarrassment and disruption to Vanguard Defense Industries, but to
send a strong message to the hacker community" that it will continue
to target military contractors, law enforcement agencies, and "white
hat sellouts," a reference to hackers who work with police and other
establishment groups.
