RealClimate: The CRU hack
-
More interesting is what is not contained in the emails. There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research, no grand plan to ‘get rid of the MWP’, no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no ‘marching orders’ from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords. The truly paranoid will put this down to the hackers also being in on the plot though.

The timing of this particular episode is probably not coincidental.
Climate sceptics claim leaked emails are evidence of collusion among scientists | Environment | The Guardian
-
Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind.

The incident is an unusual one. Though data breaches happen almost every week in higher education, most involve Social Security numbers or other university records, and the biggest concern is usually identity theft. In this case, personal e-mail messages of scientists were illegally obtained from a university server, and bloggers have been using quotes from the messages to argue that the scientists exaggerated their data on global warming.
