The confidential records of 6m Chileans found their way to a forum of a technology blog based in the country, only to be promptly removed by the sites administrators. The information posted included addresses, ID card numbers, academic records and telephone numbers and apparently came from servers based at the education ministry, the electoral service and the military. The hacker responsible supposedly also left a message to claim the aim of the attack was to show how poor the level of data protection is in Chile (I'm guessing that the point was successfully made). Police are launching an investigation into the incident.
