Secret agents investigating drug cartels in Australia exposed in data hack

A massive leak of classified documents has exposed the identities of secret agents working to stop drug cartels from operating in Australia.
The leak originated in Colombia but has embroiled police agencies from other nations, including the Australian Federal Police.
More than five terabytes of data, including more than five million emails were hacked in August.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age report identities of some Australian secret agents, as well as the details of 35 AFP operations were compromised.
The group claiming responsibility for the data hacking, Guacamaya, said it has environmental and anti-imperialist motives.
