The group has posted a sampling of the data from senate.gov files on its website, adding that members decided to attack because they "don't like the U.S. government much" and "their sites aren't very secure."

Martina Bradford, the deputy Senate sergeant at arms, claims that the group did not access any private information. "The server they got into is for public access and is in the public side," she said. The firewall protecting more sensitive parts of the network had not been breached, she added.

Bethesda Softworks, PBS and Fox have also been recent targets of LulzSec attacks.
