LONDON. Thousands of email addresses and encrypted passwords, including those of defence, intelligence and police officials as well as politicians and NATO advisers, have been revealed on the internet following a security breach by hackers.
Among the huge database of information exposed by ''hacktivists'' are the details of 221 British military officials and 242 NATO staff. Civil servants working at the heart of the British government have also been exposed.
The exposure of the database came after hackers - who are believed to be part of the Anonymous group - gained access over Christmas to the account information of Stratfor, a consultancy based in Texas that specialises in foreign affairs and security issues.
