Hacktivists worldwide have revealed the beginning of an operation meant to stop Joseph Kony, the Ugandan guerilla group leader accused of turning children into his personal soldiers.

Rwandan Hackers have joined the operation and, in order to show their support, they’ve breached a number of four websites that belong to the Uganda government.

As part of OpStopJosephKony, the hackers leaked sensitive information from the servers of Agua District, Uganda Media Center, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Medical Stores.

“Your actions will not go unpunished Joseph. You are no longer invisible, Joseph. Everyone can see you now, Joseph. We know your name now, Joseph. We know what you've done, and we will no longer sit at our computers waiting for others to take action, Joseph,” the hackers wrote, quoting Anonymous.

The data leak includes database structure details, along with administrator names, usernames and passwords, some of which in clear text.
