Techworm asked SEA about the leaks and they stated that these come from the old hacks starting from 2009 to 2014. They also said that more leaks were coming and the same will be published on their website.

The SEA stated that they want to expose the Western world and media in particular for their links to the bloody civil going on in Syria.
