A "hacktivist" group using the Anonymous banner claims it has leaked official login details of Swedish government email accounts as payback for last week's raid that shut down The Pirate Bay.

"HagashTeam" released the sensitive data in a document on Pastebin, which also includes login credentials for what appear to be official email accounts of the Israeli, Indian, Brazilian, Argentinian and Mexican administrations.

The hackers said the leak was "in retaliation" for the Pirate Bay raid.
