The website WikiLeaks has begun releasing what it says are 5 million e-mails from the private intelligence company Stratfor, starting with a company "glossary" that features unflattering descriptions of U.S. government agencies.
In a statement released early Monday in Europe (Sunday evening ET), the website promises a raft of juicy disclosures about Stratfor, a Texas-based firm that promotes itself to corporate and government clients as a source of intelligence on international affairs. The company has been targeted by hackers who have released private data about subscribers in recent months, prompting the company to offer its clients a year of paid identity-protection coverage.

Surprised nobody has posted it, unless they have and it has been removed (so I apologize to mods beforehand.) This follows a breach that occurred last December if I remember correctly.
Please do not discuss politics, piracy, pro-AnonSec, flammable/trolling opinions, and anti-ToS topics. This is a news item. Consider the implications of your comments as this is really important news to follow and it does OCN credit to be able to follow these topics maturely. This is a big one that will more than likely re-kindle a lot of Internet control conversations here in the US.
