Qatar bank 'hacked'

Documents purporting to be from the Qatar National Bank have been leaked on a file-sharing site.

The document leak was briefly offered at Global-Files.net, but has since been deleted by the user. Whistleblower clearing house Cryptome is promising to re-host the files, but at the time of writing had not yet done so.

According to Cryptome's Twitter stream, the leaked file contained more than 15,000 documents detailing more than 100,000 accounts with passwords and PINs.

If the QNB hack https://t.co/R4jiU8iXEy site goes down, we'll offer the Zip. Unless irresistably bribed to dribble, redact and talk big.
