16,959 e-mail accounts have been dumped to MediaFire recently, ZeroPaid has learned. The 1.18MB text file was uploaded by Connexion Hack Team. The file contains government and military e-mail accounts and passwords. ZeroPaid has also learned that many popular e-mail providers are also seen in the list of accounts compromised.

In a previous post, Zeropaid reported that the same group had claimed responsibility for hacking http://www.fppc.ca.gov, the web site of the California Fair Political Practices Commission. In that data dump, the hackers also included usernames and passwords. In their announcement of that hack, they write, in part:
To prove that we hacked your website, we provided a table below of all the candidates, administration info, and the list of donators and who they donated to. We have done all this attempt to show the people the corrupt governments of the world. You may not be a government but you have connections. So therefore, we shall disrupt the internet ocean, revolutionise the world, all in the name of #AntiSec.
