The Anonymous hacking group has struck again, this time leaking a
massive cache of emails belonging to Booz Allen Hamilton, a strategy
and consulting firm that works with the U.S. government and military
on defense and homeland security issues.

The leak, called "Military Meltdown Monday: Mangling Booz Allen
Hamilton," includes 90,000 emails from military personnel, Anonymous
wrote on the message accompanying the leak on the file-sharing site
The Pirate Bay... Departments that were affected in the Booz Allen
Hamilton intrusion, according to the tech site Gizmodo, include US
CENTCOM, the Marine Corps, Homeland Security and the U.S. State
Department.

In the Booz Allen breach, Anonymous also leaked password hashes for
each of the 90,000 stolen emails.... (In this hack, Anonymous wrote
that the hashes were "non-salted," meaning they didn't include an
extra security protection — salting — designed to make backtracing
more difficult.)
