Spect, a hacker part of the newly formed Team Digi7al, managed to gain unauthorized access to the email account of Silvia Elena Alfaro Espinosa, the ambassador of Peru in Bolivia since January 2011. The hacker not only published the username and password that protect the account, but also dumped the entire contents of the inbox, totaling around 60 megabytes.

“I was able to brute force the ambassador of Bolivia's online email account and was able to translate all of her messages. I have some evidence to this and I have decided to release his username and pass to the public on Pastebin,” the hacker told us.

Because there’s a lot of sensitive information involved, we will not link to the data leak, but you can check out the screenshots provided by Spect, which clearly demonstrate that he managed to access the Peruvian official’s account.
