Activists say McIntyre was a member of Anonymous. When he was shot he appeared to be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, often worn by supporters of the global hacktivist collective.

Anonymous says it has several secret files.

“We do have other documents and files. We are not going to speak to quantity, date of their release, manner of their release, or their topic matter at this time,” a spokesperson for a coterie of Anonymous told the Post in an interview conducted through encrypted communications.

“This will be an ongoing operation with expected surprise as a critical element.”

Government computers were breached in stages, over several months, the Anonymous spokesperson said, including during the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks last weekend, organized in protest of the shooting. (DDoS is when multiple hijacked computers tie up the resources of a web site so the public cannot access it.)

After the DDoS attacks, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney told reporters that no personal information or government secrets were compromised.

Jeremy Laurin, a spokesman for the minister, could say little about the veracity of the document or its response to the threat by Friday evening.

“We are monitoring the situation closely,” said Laurin. “Our government takes cyber security seriously and operates on the advice of security experts.”

The government has promised $235 million funding for a cyber-security ‎strategy designed to defend against electronic threats, hacking and cyber espionage, he said. On Wednesday the minister said $142 million of that is to enhance security at several agencies, including the RCMP and CSIS.
