Before shutting down its federal contracting branch in 2012, HBGary was awarded numerous contracts pertaining to cyber-security and data protection.

Emails obtained in 2012 implicate the firm in working with the government, Bank of America and various other private corporations specifically to safeguard their systems from WikiLeaks.

Other emails show the U.S. Chamber of Commerce employing the firm to conduct corporate espionage.

This is a developing situation. Check back for updates.
