At the start of this month, news broke that The Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm had been arrested in Cambodia, quickly followed by speculation that millions of dollars were exchanged for his capture. Svartholm was deported to Sweden today, and rather coincidentally, the Anonymous hacker collective announced that it had hacked Cambodia’s government sites and leaked over 5,000 documents.

More specifically, the hackers attacked the Kingdom of Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation website, mfaic.gov.kh. Nevetheless, this leak isn’t just limited to Cambodia; other countries are affected as well. For example, high ranking officials of the Nepalese Army have been doxed (PDF).

Here is what the hackers had to say for themselves, in the post titled “Free Gottfrid #OPTPB Massive Cambodian gov dox leak!”:

In retaliation for extradition by Cambodian gov of our fella brother Gottfrid, We present this release of dozen government agencies and offices in Cambodia doxxed like hell.

A sneak peak (15 images) of the leak is available on imgur. Here’s one of the screenshots:

There is a total of 5,234 documents, packed into two archives hosted on Deposit Files: 161MB and 230MB. You can view all of them over at par-anoia.net/assessment/kh/ (they are written in English, Hindi, Khmer, and Russian).

The rest of the announcement attempts to give a bit more detail into the documents’ nature:

You will find there lotsa stuff including Combodian and Nepal drug trafficking authorities, army, consulates

Kyrghyztan and Ukraine classified documents, Belarus, India etc etc all related to Cambodian authorities and business.

Also included internet banking certificate depos and clients which belong to the mentioned authorities. Stay strong brother! we will bury them!

Free Gottfrid! Hands off TPB! Ta-ta lulz

Sweden has been on the lookout for Svartholm ever since he failed to appear for his 12-month sentence after he was found guilty of aiding copyright infringement in 2009. The 27-year-old’s sentence was upheld even though he was absent from court hearings in 2010 due to ill-health. Along with the 12 month sentence, Svartholm is also due to pay 30 million kronor ($4.48 million) in damages.

We don’t know where exactly Svartholm is now, but it is clear that Cambodia has deported him to Sweden. Chhay Bunna, a senior police officer in the immigration office at Phnom Penh’s international airport, told The Seattle Times he was put aboard a Thai Airways flight on Monday night after Cambodian authorities handed him over to two Swedish police officers waiting at the plane’s door.
