NullCrew hackers continue to show their support for Operation Free Assange by doing the thing they’re best at: leaking information from breached websites. Yesterday, they claimed to have hacked into the databases of the Africa College site (africacollege.leeds.ac.uk) owned by the University of Leeds.

The hackers leaked database details, but also over 100 email addresses, password hashes and usernames.

The only statement they posted next to the data dump was a quote from the founder of WikiLeaks: Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior.

This isn’t the only website allegedly penetrated by NullCrew in support for Assange. They also claim to have breached lada-auto.ru – a website dedicated to Lada, the trademark vehicle of Russian car manufacturer AutoVAZ.

The only thing they have published from this site are the names of the databases, but they claim that they’re in the possession of usernames and passwords as well, information which they’ll leak in the upcoming days.

Update. As promissed, the hackers have published the information stolen from lada-auto.ru. The leak consists of over 1,000 user login credentials and other details.
