Anonymous leaks personal data hacked from UN climate site

The United Nations confirmed Thursday reports that activist group Anonymous leaked personal data from some 1,400 people using its climate website, as the world gathered in Paris to craft a climate rescue pact.

“I can confirm there was a hacking incident earlier this week and that has been handled by the conference’s IT security experts,” said UN climate secretariat spokesman Nick Nuttall, who declined to make any further comment.
