Spain People's Party Data Breach (2013)

Anonymous hackers have defaced the official website of Spains Peoples Party (Partido Popular), the countrys governing party. In addition to defacing the website which has been restored , the hacktivists have also leaked 5 gigabytes of documents that allegedly represent the partys financial accounts from 1990 to 2011. Darknet.in reports that the party refused to release the documents after a judge overseeing a political corruption scandal asked to see them. The information has been posted on torrent sites, blogs and other websites so that citizens can analyze it. According to a video statement published by the hackers a couple of days ago, the documents show that the Peoples Party has used public money to buy expensive cars, a pony and other items. The hacktivists are displeased with the fact that the party keeps talking about austerity and cuts while it robs the people.
