It seems no one is safe on the Internet.

The latest example: hackers claimed to breach the files of Italian spy software company Hacking Team and then used the company’s own Twitter account to broadcast the information publicly Sunday.

The 400GB of files released on the Internet — the equivalent of nearly 70 copies of the movie “Independence Day” in HD — purported to reveal client lists and closely guarded software code, information that raised eyebrows in the world of cybersecurity and privacy.
