Australia's ABC hacked over Geert Wilders interview

The personal details of thousands of Australians were leaked Wednesday after a hacking attack on public broadcaster ABC in protest at an interview with far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

People protest outside the venue where right-wing Dutch MP Geert Wilders was delivering a speech to the conservative Q Society of Australia, in Sydney on February 22, 2013.
