OSCE Vienna (REPRISE)
If you have followed the previous OSCE release, you will have seen the article Jeffrey Carr wrote. Today we were notified that OSCE has shut down its Austrian servers after the article was published.Frane Maroevic, Deputy Head of Press and Information for the OSCE stated that "due to the sensitivity of the issue, the OSCE was unable to comment any further". Let us comment then, with another 55mb of internal documents from OSCE Vienna, dating upto today (November 11th), two days after the publication of Jeffrey's article. Again, many of the documents are marked as restricted; for example the report on "Efforts in the field of arms control agreements and confidence– and security–building measures" (PDF, 150kb) which concludes unsurprisingly that the meeting's result was "below expectations".
We can't help to notice the irony of this release, as the OSCE is currently running a program to train Ukrainian police in Cybercrime (translation). Maybe the OSCE can include this incident in their program; Monday would be a good idea, because the OSCE Informal Working Group 1039 will have a meeting on cyber security as we can see in this restricted document (PDF, 450kb).
The source of the data has provided a statement along with the files. As usual, feel free to browse the files using the links below. Most documents are English, some Russian; many restricted and you'll find things like scans of diplomatic passports as well.

Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Vienna (oscepa.at)
On our worldwide tour we stop in Austria today, more precisely at
the OSCE Office in Vienna, to present you a small but nonetheless
interesting dump of internal files from the Organization for Security
and Cooperation in Europe. Check a preview of the data here (imgur).The material was presented to us to bring attention to the attempted election manipulation in the Ukraine; the following statement was released with the data:
As you may all know the situation in Ukraine is getting worse;
today the opposition force VO BATKIVSHYNA initiated the revokation of
its candidates. This statement was made by Anatoly Gritsenko, one of the
opposition leaders heavily supported by the Russian oligarch Viktor
Vekselberg and massive funding by the FSB operatives.
This is all done to cancel the results of this election and
initiate procedures to start new election campaign - with only one
intent to drain resources from the opposition (which has no money for
the 2nd tour) so the Russian government and the rulling party of Ukraine
eventualy win the 2nd tour with great leverage.
Anatoly Gritsenko and Arseny Yatsenyuk are engaged in
cooperative tactial destruction of the Real Opposition forces, acting on
behalf of former president Leonid Kuchma and the rulling party. We
cannot let this happen, there should be no 2nd tour of elections,
otherwise Ukraine becomes the gang-rapped puppet of the Russian Empire.
OSCE mission was to protect the elections and report evidence of
massive falsifications and violations, but they failed to do so by
issuing statements that the elections did go the right way with minimum
violations. We can not tollerate mass murder of Ukraine Democracy and we
do not tollerate Rusian pressure on OSCE with intend to cover up the
violations of election procedures.
While the data retrieved does not specifically relate to this incident, it shows a lot of internal dealings within the OSCE, many of the documents are classified or confidential. Most of the data is in English but there are also German files within the stash. As usual, feel free to browse and download the files using the links below.

Italian State Police (poliziadistato.it)
Today we are in Italy. Anonymous sources have retrived 1.35 Gigabyte from the Italian State Police (Polizia di Stato).Obviously the data is in Italian, thus limited information is available at this time. But several Italian researchers are busy with assessing the material already. We like to point out the sample folder which contains assorted material from the archives, like details about wiretaps from Telcom Italia and confidential technical information about interception devices. An Italian statement about the release can be found here.
Feel free to use the links at the bottom to explore the data, especially if you speak Italian. We will update this section when new relevant information comes up.

Chamber of Mines of South Africa (bullion.org.za)
For
about two months miners in South Africa are striking for better payment
and working conditions. On October 5th 2012, Anglo American Platinum
(Amplats), the world’s largest platinum producer, fired 12,000 workers,
because they refused to appear in a disciplinary hearing. Read some news
articles about it here or here. For background information on the five largest South African Mines impacted by the strikes, read this article on Forbes.A pack of renegade kittens has looked into the Chamber Of Mines of South Africa to get some information on how the industry is seeing this issue. They passed on a small archive of files (23mb total) which contains a number of documents that seem relevant in this light. For instance, you might want to read a report by the Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC) about fatalities due to rockfalls and falls to ground.
Among the data you will find some confidential and strictly confidential classified material such as the MHSC Annual Report 2011/2012 or information requested by the Gold Producers Commitee about the terms and conditions of Rock Drill Operators.
It is possible that more documents will emerge in the near future so stay tuned for updates. In the meantime feel free to use the information as you see fit.
UPDATE Nov 6, 2012: The independent media organization Associated Whistle Press (whistle.is) have taken a closer look at the accident report due to rockfalls by the MHSC:

them contain details about deals with Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The
documents are partly in English, Russian and Chinese.Not all documents have been assessed yet but the Russian press already noted that one document, obtained from the Chinese foreign office in Minsk indicates relations between the notorious Russian mob boss Marat Balagula and high ranking Ukrainian politicians.

NYPD Video Footage of 2011 OWS Zuccotti Park Eviction
On
November 15th, 2011, the New York Police Department (NYPD) surrounded
the original #OccupyWallStreet encampment in the heart of New York's
Financial District, arrested all who remained in the park, and threw the
personal belongings of protesters and the community into NYC garbage
trucks.Before the raid, the NYPD cordoned-off Zuccotti Park and kept the media a few blocks away, out of sight of the eviction, a matter of widespread concern at the time:
• "Reporters Say Police Denied Access to Protest Site", Brian Stelter and Al Baker, New York Times Media Decoder blog, 15 November 2011
• Occupy Wall Street: NYPD attempt media blackout at Zuccotti Park", Dominic Rushe, The Guardian, 15 November 2011
• "The NYPD Didn't Want You To See Occupy Wall Street Get Evicted", The Gothamist, 15 November 2011
During the night's events, members of the NYPD's Technical Assistance Response Unit (TARU) shot over 60 hours of handheld, monopod-based and CCTV video footage. Few independent media livestreamers and protesters were able to get footage during the November 15th raid and eviction, making the NYPD's own video an important part of the historical record. A 16-minute compilation was uploaded to YouTube on September 24th, 2012.
It seems the most likely source of the footage, released by Anonymous on September 23rd, 2012, was a "discovery" process in one of the many court cases against the NYPD by Occupy Wall Street protesters.
From experience, this makes it likely that the footage the police surrendered to the court is incomplete. Some officer cameras may not be included, some video files may have been withheld or edited, and officers filming may have chosen on the scene not to film parts of the events.
This browsable 11GB release of TARU files includes video footage from 12 officer cameras and 2 CCTV cameras, arranged in 20 main directories named after the officer/CCTV and location. The directory tree contains 70 video files and 20 JPG image files, with the majority of video files are in *.mov format. The CCTV footage is offered in *.asx format.
GET INVOLVED! A documentation project to watch and categorize the footage, note officer badge numbers and significant events, is underway. Join the team on irc.voxanon.net in channel #a99.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cambodia (mfaic.gov.kh)
On
September 10th 2012 Anonymous released two archives containing material
from the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign affairs. The files were
initially released on depositfiles, you can find the links here. We have mirrored the files and inflated the archives for easy access to all documents.So far, only a fraction of the material has been looked at and while many of the documents are in English, at least as many are in other languages like Hindi, Khmer or Russian. It may take a while until the full scope and value of this data has been assessed.
However, even a quick look over the data revealed some interesting documents. For instance we can learn that the Indian Embassy ordered CCTV equipment from Eversafe Nepal Pvt. Ltd. The documents contains technical specifications of all components and prices: (click on the image to download the full document (Microsoft Word .doc)
From the preview you may have already seen this document containing a report about drug traficking in Biratnagar, Nepal. Find page two of this report here.
And for the lulz lizards it looks like some high ranking officials of the Nepalese Army have been doxed (PDF).
We will update you with further information on this leak as documents get translated and evaluated. In the meantime feel free to scan through the archives yourself.

Apple unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs)
On
September 3rd 2012 AntiSec/Anonymous released a file containing one
million Apple UDIDs (Unique Device Identifiers) with corresponding
username and device type. The data was involuntarily provided by Special
Agent Christopher Stangl, whose notebook was breached by AntiSec in
March 2012. Among the data on his notebook was a file named NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv
which contained a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique
Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device,
Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers and
addresses.The data was sanitized before release so that no personal information like emails, addresses or cellphone numbers were disclosed. We are currently working on presenting the data in a browsable way, in the meantime you can check on thenextweb.com if your UDID is included in the list.
UPDATE 09/04 21:35 GMT The FBI has released a statement saying that "at this time, there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.".
We would like to point out that at this time, we have no reason to doubt the claim that the data in question was indeed obtained from the agent's notebook. The fact that the FBI has no "evidence" of a databreach on one of their notebooks does not allow the conclusion that it never happened.
Furthermore, based on our experience in the recent years the FBI cannot be trusted in their statements anyway. It should be pointed out that it wouldn't be the first time they are caught in a lie, the most recent example can be shown in the Stratfor incident in December 2011: In a New York Times article it was stated that "The F.B.I. said that it immediately notified Stratfor, but said that at that point it was too late.". This can be easily disproven by reading Jeremy Hammond's indictment where it's clearly stated that the FBI knew as early as December 6th about the Stratfor breach but no data was compromised or stolen until three weeks later.
Therefore we have no reason to believe the FBI's statement more than our sources. In fact, our sources have proven to be more trustworthy and reliable than any Government agency in the recent years. If the data in question was indeed obtained illegaly the FBI has no choice but to deny any knowledge; if it breaks down it is better to blame a "renegade agent". May that be as it will, at least you do not see the FBI Press Office throwing caps at Anonymous on twitter every day:
There is also reason to assume that AntiSec has more material from the notebook in question as this file seems to be related to the 3 Terabyte of data to be released, as anounced earlier this year by AntiSec. We will update this section as soon as more information is available.

Innodata Isogen Databreach: Part I
On
July 5th 2012 the new leak platform Par:Anoia, backed by the hacktivist
collective Anonymous, started to publish files leaked from the servers
of USA based surveillance company Innodata.1.9gb were published. The
files expose the industry of surveillance in Asia, involving various
governments and corporations from Russia, Phillipines, Ukraine, South
Korea, Japan and Turkmenistan, among other countries.Some findings from various volunteers sifting through the data; if you find anything of interest please let us know and we will add it:
This document shows that Vocord will be installing a CCTV surveillance network in Dnepropetrovsk; a $197 million project which will "enjoy duty-free commercial production by endorsement after three years prior to application for tax excemption". Furthermore this operation is connected to the explosion in Dnepropetrovsk on April 27th and operations in Turkmenistan and Iraq.
Leaked Document from Russian
Leaked email sent by Dmitry Zavarikin, CEO of Vocord Telecom, to Armand Jafarov (who has his certificate of achievement of an IBM course disclosed among the leaked files in possession of Innodata) of MMI Business Services, Vocord's partner in Turkmenistan, Zavarikin states that "part of the archives clearly belong to MMI" and "this information is interpreted as compromising for Vocord company".
