Anonymous claims Bank of America spied on Dr. Seuss fans

The Biggest Hacktivists Group Anonymous has released 14 Gb of data which the organization , claims to prove that the Bank of America was indulge in the spying went to the trouble of hiring an intelligence firm to spy on troublemakers last year. 
A press release from Par:AnoIA (aka Anonymous Intelligence Agency) states that the data "clearly shows that the research was sloppy, random and valueless."
But the emails include "Daily Cyber Threat Highlights" that list events and stories from all over the world.

We knew that web intelligence firm Ntrepid mapped online relationships between anarchists and the leaders of Occupy. These documents reveal that TEKSystems assembled "intelligence" reports on both Occupy and hackers for (at least) the first 11 months of 2012.

According to the allegations, the bank engaged web intelligence outfit TEKSystems to keep an eye on Occupy Wall Street protesters, hackers, and other private citizens. 

Anonymous also claims the information isn't a result of a hack as it was stored on a mis-configured server and "basically up for grabs." 
 
The leak includes a list of more than 10,000 words, phrases, and (seemingly arbitrary) Wikipedia entries — everything from "jihad" to "keg stand" to "I Wish That I Had Duck Feet" — used to find items on forums like anonops and sites including Facebook, Twitter (and Tweetdeck), pastebin, and various blogs.
