Through the hack, LulzSec seems to be making of mockery of company dealing with such sensitive information.
As if the attack on FBI partner site InfraGard was not enough, hackers have landed another blow on the U.S. intelligence agency, this time on IRC Federal, an FBI engineering contractor.
Following the footsteps of its affiliate criminal hackers Lulzsec, which infiltrated InfraGard's website, AntiSec has hacked the IRC Federal.
Claiming responsibility for hack, it stated, “Today we release the ownage of another government-contracted IT company, IRC Federal. They brag about their multi-million dollar partnership with the FBI, Army, Navy, NASA, and the Department of Justice, selling out their "skills" to the US empire.
“So we laid nuclear waste to their systems, owning their pathetic windows box, dropping their databases and private emails, and defaced their professional looking website.”
Leaking information online, AntiSec has published the logins to VPNs and several Department of Energy logins on pastebin.com, a website where users can store text online, usually samples of source code, for public viewing for a short period of time.
Databases published online
The group, part of hacktivist collective Anonymous, broke into company's website, and obtained several emails, contracts, development schematics, and internal documents of IRC Federal.
The documents include FBI's proposal to start “Special Identities Modernization (SIM) Project,” aimed at combating “terrorist and criminal activities” by protecting all records, and exposing individuals who poses threat to United States and its allies.

Message for IRC Federal employees
Apart from sharing databases online, the hacker group has also left a personal message for IRC Federal employees, asking them to break-free from government which has been abusing its power.
“If you place any value on freedom, then stop working for the oligarchy and start working against it.
“Stop aiding the corporations and a government which uses unethical means to corner vast amounts of wealth and proceed to flagrantly abuse their power. Together, we have the power to change this world for the better.”
Well, they even post a funny poem which read, “roses are red, violets are blue, we hate whitehats, and you do too!”
