As promised, members of the Anonymous hacking movement have released 
hundreds of megabytes of documents that they say were stolen from 
government security contractor ManTech.

The data released on the Pirate Bay file-sharing site late Friday 
contain nearly 400 megabytes of documents -- spreadsheets, résumés, 
planning documents, even photographs -- that appear to have come from 
the government contractor.

A ManTech representative declined to comment on the incident Friday, but 
in a note posted to the company's website, ManTech did not dispute the 
claim that it had been hacked. "All organizations attract cyber threats 
in our highly networked world," the company said. "Our practice is 
generally not to comment on reports involving security related matters. 
However, given current publicity, we wish to assure our customers, 
employees, shareholders and business partners that ManTech takes 
seriously recent reports of a cyber threat, and we responsibly and 
actively address all sources of information about threats to our 
information and assets and those of our customers."

Anonymous said it was releasing the data to embarrass the government 
contractor, which recently signed a five-year deal to provide managed 
security services for the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
