    ANONYMOUS LEAKS INFORMATION ON LEADING AZERBAIJAN ENERGY COMPANY

    SC Magazine
    Sept 4 2013

    A group claiming to be an Armenian branch of hacker collective
    Anonymous has leaked 7 GB worth of documents relating to Azerenergy,
    the leading energy producer in the Eurasian country of Azerbaijan.

    Financial details, offshore communications, contracts, research and
    photos of passports are among the documents that have been leaked,
    with the group adding "illegal schemes" to the mix in an announcement
    posted Tuesday afternoon to cyberguerilla.org - a forum designed to
    maintain anonymity.

    The entire multi-gigabyte package was broken into 13 parts and hosted
    on AnonFiles.com, an anonymous file- hosting website unrelated to
    the similarly named hacker collective.

    "We are not that very much happy with Aliev's politics therefore
    this release is just another leap in a series of releases to fight
    Azerbaijani mafia clans," the group wrote in its post, indicating
    there would be more to come.

    An Azerenergy representative could not immediately be reached for
    comment.

    Ilham Aliyev is the president of Azerbaijan since 2003 and in a U.S.

    Embassy diplomatic cable posted to WikiLeaks in 2009 he was compared
    to mafia figures. According to a EurasiaNet.org article, Aliyev is
    unbending with regard to domestic political diversity and, according
    to the WikiLeaks document, the 10-year Azerbaijan leader has a
    "dual-nature" whose U.S. interests contradict U.S. values.

    "HELP AZERBAIJAN FREE OF POLITICAL TERROR AND DICTATORSHIP," the
    group wrote in its post.

    This is the second time this year that an Azerbaijan organization
    has suffered an information leak by a group claiming to be Anonymous.

    In April, a group calling itself Anonymous leaked 1.5 GB of data from
    the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies of the
    Republic of Azerbaijan. The group called attention to ties between
    various corporations and government agencies that were said to have
    financed terror groups.

    Anonymous continues to make headlines - most recently in July for three
    consecutive releases of lists of FEMA contacts - but the collective has
    remained under the radar in recent time due to a number of high-profile
    arrests by the FBI.

    Among those FBI arrests are key members of Anonymous splinter group
    Lulz Security, as well as distributors of the Gozi virus, who are
    not said to be associated with Anonymous. The Gozi virus infected
    millions of computers and stole millions of dollars from financial
    institutions around the globe.
