Microsoft charges FBI for your Information; Syrian Electronic Army leaks Invoices

Syrian Electronic Army (SEA), the pro-hacker group, who had compromised Microsoft’s Twitter account and blog, earlier this year and Microsoft did announce a breach on its blog. This time the group has managed to successfully get into the FBI’s super-secret Digital Intercept Technology Unit (DITU), where they found the actual invoices from Microsoft. Microsoft charged the DITU $145,100 in December 2012, at a rate of $100 per data request. In August 2013, the per-request rate increased to $200 and the latest Invoice dated November 2013, showed a charge of $281,000.
