Anonymous hackers have leaked sensitive data which they said was obtained from the Armscor website.<\/p>\n

Armscor is an acquisition agency for\u00a0the South African Department of\u00a0Defence and other organs of state.<\/p>\n

The attack was perpetrated in the name of the #OpAfrica campaign, which was launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n

When Anonymous first announced #OpAfrica<\/strong><\/a>, it said it was about \u201ca disassembly of corporations and governments that enable and perpetuate corruption on the African continent\u201d.<\/p>\n

It said it would focus on the issues of child labour and Internet censorship in Africa.<\/p>\n

For this hack, the attackers said they were exposing the South African government\u2019s arms trade.<\/p>\n

Among\u00a0the details released was recent invoicing information, showing who Armscor\u2019s customers and suppliers are.<\/p>\n

Armscor was asked for comment on the attack, but did not respond by the time of publication.<\/p>\n
