Hacktivists dig up mine company investor data

Anonymous claims to have compromised two Anglo American websites and leaked stakeholders’ personal information online. Angloplatinum.com and angloplatinum.co.za were the targets of the politically motivated assault on the UK mining company, which operates in Africa, Europe, South and North America, Australia and Asia. “The group claimed that Anglo American’s action against a fight for indigenous people and polluting the environment are behind this hacking,” TK reports.

The files published on the Internet supposedly contain usernames and passwords, investor names with personal details and other sensitive information.
