Anonymous hackers compromised New Zealand foreign minister Murray McCully's private e-mail account and used it to sent messages mocking him.
The group breached McCully's e-mail account last April after New Zealand passed laws cracking down on illegal file-sharing and threatening to disconnect repeat offenders from the Internet, the Dominion Post reported.
Prime Minister John Key told the Dominion Post that he was aware of the security breach but was confident the hackers had not obtained any sensitive information because if they had "it would be out (on the Internet) by now".
McCully declined to provide details of the mocking e-mails that were sent from his account, saying: "I don't want to give people ideas."
