Anonymous hackers have re-targeted US military intelligence agencies, releasing two teaser documents as a "taste of what's to come".
The Anonymous collective announced the new attack on Wednesday via Twitter. The two tweets stemmed from the AnonymousIRC Twitter account and contained links to two documents, allegedly taken from the Headquarters Department of the Army.
Specifically, the two documents were a January 2010 Intelligence Officer handbook and an January 2008 Intelligence Support to Urban Operations document. Released as downloadable PDFs the collective described the documents as teasers, indicating its intention to do a larger data dump.

The attack follows an ongoing campaign by Anonymous against the US military and its contractors. Previously the collective has mounted attacks on analysis company Stratfor, biotech firm Monsanto and military contractor Booz Allen Hamilton for their current and past ties to the US Army.
The leak was later credited as a part of Anonymous's ongoing Operation Anti-Security. Started in the 1990s, Anonymous re-affirmed its commitment to the movement in August 2011, when it declared war on the world's banks and governments.
Outside of attacks on the US military, to date the operation has seen Anonymous target numerous law enforcement agencies including the Italian Police, the FBI, the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency and even NATO.
Anonymous gave no indication as to when the second release would occur, nor the nature of the information. US officials had not responded to the International Business Times UK's requests for comment.?
