Prosecutors: Stolen Activist Emails Were Later Cited In Court By Exxon

"Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memo Thursday that hackers hired by an Israeli private investigator stole communications between climate activists that were later used in court by Exxon Mobil Corp.

In the memo, attorneys with the Southern District of New York said Aviram Azari, the defendant in the case, paid for the services of mercenary hackers who targeted emails between activists that were later leaked to the press.
