Anonymous hacktivists break into the American Pharmacist Association Site(Pharmacist.com) as a form of protest against the United States government.
Anonymous claims to have gained root access to the organization’s systems, removing all the data they could find on their servers.
They also leaked 65 MB compressed file, which contains approximately 163 MB of source code, server logs, and transaction logs belonging to pharmacist.com.
"In an effort to make a mockery off of our friends inside of the US government we are releasing personal information and credit card details from government officials." Hackers said in the leak.

Before the website was taken offline by the organization, the hackers defaced it and even set up a drive-by attack. It’s uncertain at this time what was served to the visitors of the site during the time it was compromised. However, it would have been really strange if the hacktivists had used the site to push malware.
