In a statement, Lulz Security also claimed to have used one of the passwords to steal nearly 1,000 work and personal e-mails from the chief executive of Wilmington, Del.,-based Unveillance. Lulz Security claimed it was acting in response to a recent report that the Pentagon was considering whether to classify some cyberattacks as acts of war.
The FBI said yesterday steps were being taken to mitigate the damage.
