14 DAY TRIAL // In late December 2013, hackers of LulzSec Peru announced hacking into the systems of the country’s Ministry of Interior. At the time, they leaked what appeared to be classified documents and email communications.
According to Elgolfo.info, the Ministry of Interior has admitted that the hackers breached its systems and intercepted the emails of several officials.
The leaked files also include information related to mining plans of the Newmont Mining Corporation.
The ministry says it will file a report with the prosecutor. If they’ll be identified and convicted for their crimes, the hackers face up to 10 years in prison.
The Ministry of Interior is LulzSec Peru’s latest target, but the group has attacked numerous government organizations from Peru, including the National Police, the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations, and the presidency.
