Documents posted online by an anonymous hacker group point to extensive Italian espionage against Russian and Indian defense and energy deals. The hacked documents contain raw data and intelligence reports authored by officials in Italy's National Anti-Crime Computer Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNAIPIC), an electronic security outfit operating under the auspices of the Italian National Police. It appears that Italian National Police servers were recently hacked by a group of international hackers calling itself Anonymous Hackers for Antisec Operation.

IntelNews showed some of the hacked documents to a European veteran intelligence official, who said the subject of the documents points to Russia as a primary target of CNAIPIC espionage, with the Indian embassy's correspondence being simply "collateral damage" in the overall operation.

Seems like overkill to me.
