Motherboard reports:
Members of Anonymous are claiming responsibility for leaking a trove of personal data that includes the names, email addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card information of government employees.
The information was dumped from an online database belonging to the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Society of Canada, and was posted online shortly before noon on Tuesday.
The leak includes private sector companies and industry groups, as well as employees from a swath of transportation-related government departments from municipal governments in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary; provincial governments of Ontario and Alberta; and federal departments such as Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, Environment Canada and Transport Canada.
