The documents published are not particularly sensitive they are mainly logs (operating history) of a site server.
“Is this an act of war, gentlemen?” pretends to question the group in a message accompanying the documents, referring to recent statements from NATO and U.S. military that a hacking IT could be an act of war, in which an armed response could be made.
The Senate has decided to undertake an audit of all its security systems, but no confidential document was released by pirates, who have apparently he could not fully penetrate the network of the Senate.
LulzSec also released this weekend several internal documents of the video game publisher Bethesda . The group claims to have a list of two hundred thousand passwords for the accounts of players Brink, one of the titles of publisher, but do not have published “because we love this business” .
