Hacktivists part of TeaMp0isoN continue their operations against the governments they consider to be corrupt, their latest targets being the ones from Nigeria and Peru.

The hackers leaked around 200 megabytes worth of sensitive data obtained from the servers of the Peruvian government, mainly consisting of pdf files, PowerPoint presentations, treaties, agreements and manuals.

They promise that the next couple of leaks from the same series will be even more interesting.

“Part Two will contain some emails from Peruvian Government Officials, (alongside more government documents waiting to be leaked) including the Peruvian Prime Minister. Some of you will find the content of these emails VERY interesting,” TeaMp0isoN members write on Pastebin.

The second dump contains data obtained from “influential” Nigerian sites and includes administrator passwords and other sensitive information.

“Revolution is the only way for evolution; Nigeria, raise up and confront your oppressors,” the hackers said.
