Anonymous: We Hacked DOJ Emails, Database
This could get real interesting,

The hacker group Anonymous reports it has released nearly two gigabytes of data it hacked from Department of Justice servers.

“Within the booty you may find lots of shiny things such as internal emails, and the entire database dump,” Anonymous wrote in a release on its press site, which also included a Pirate Bay torrent link to the data.

DOJ confirmed that a website server run by the Bureau of Justice Statistics was hacked.

“The department is looking into the unauthorized access of a website server operated by the Bureau of Justice Statistics that contained data from their public website,” a DOJ spokesperson said in a statement.

So We need to get a Torrent Program and then access It that way eh ? Hmmm - I guess We'll wait until someone has decompressed It as Torrent and other P2P Programs are notorious System and Bandwidth Hogs...

Been there - Seen that...

The breach was announced Monday evening and made available via The Pirate Bay around noon Eastern, Tuesday. The zipped file, named "MondayMailMayhem," which contains "qwerty.tar," is 1.7GB and contains roughly 6.5 GB of web server files from the website http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/, the Bureau of Justice Statistics in the US Department of Justice. It does not appear to contain any sensitive personal information, internal documents, or internal emails.

The hackers claim the breach was designed "to spread information, to allow the people to be heard and to know the corruption in their government. …to end the corruption that exists, and truly make those who are being oppressed free." The hacker who claims responsibility for the breach indicated that the dump contains " internal emails, and the entire database dump." However, Identity Finder has not been able to substantiate that claim.

Identity Finder conducted an analysis on the files. Based upon Identity Finder's analysis:
