For months [June 2011 - March 2012?], Hammond claimed, Sabu guided him as he hacked the Stratfor website & 1000's more.

Before being cut off by Judge Preska, Hammond claimed that foreign government targets included Turkey, Brazil and Iran.

Preska had already imposed a protective order preventing the release of the countries’ names, which were in Hammond’s statement and in sentencing paperwork. The government had disputed his claims involving the countries, and Preska responded by ordering the names be redacted.

“While he billed himself as fighting for an anarchist cause, in reality, Jeremy Hammond caused personal and financial chaos for individuals whose identities and money he took and for companies whose businesses he decided he didn’t like,” USA Preet Bharara said in a May statement.

"After Stratfor, I continued to break into other targets, using a powerful “zero day exploit” allowing me admin access to systems running the popular Plesk webhosting platform. Sabu asked me many times for access to this exploit, which I refused to give him."

Sabu continued to supply me w/ lists of vulnerable targets. I broke into numerous websites he supplied, uploaded the stolen email accounts & databases onto Sabu’s FBI server, and handed over passwords and backdoors.

These intrusions, all of which were suggested by Sabu while cooperating with the FBI, affected thousands of domain names and consisted largely of foreign government websites, including those of XXXXXXX, XXXXXXXX, XXXX, XXXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXXXXX, XXXXXXX and the XXXXXX XXXXXXX.

In one instance, Sabu & I provided access info to hackers who went on to deface and destroy many government websites in XXXXXX. I don’t know how other info I provided to him may have been used, but I think the government’s collection and use of this data needs to be investigated

AntiSec posted govt files that appeared to include passwords for several sites associated with the Brazilian government as well as contents of databases belonging to the governments of Australia, Anguilla and Zimbabwe.

LulzSec has taken a special interest in Brazil. A key member known as Sabu has opposed censorship there, and the group has a Brazilian offshoot.
