What makes Hunton's involvement in the anti-WikiLeaks scheming so striking is that the firm represents some of the biggest names in corporate America. Hunton's website touts its representation of Wells Fargo, Altria (aka Phillip Morris), the telecom Cingular, and defense contractor General Dynamics, among many others.

The Hunton attorney who appears most frequently in the trove of e-mails is John W. Woods, who, according to his Hunton bio, "regularly counsels clients on ... electronic surveillance" and "has a particular focus in advising corporations in the legal response to network security intrusions and data breaches."

Woods corresponded with HBGary executive Aaron Barr about a proposal to attack Chamber critics. In one exchange, after Barr had produced some information about the family of another Hunton partner to prove his social media research prowess, Woods responded:


Barr responded with some links to social media pages of an official at the anti-Chamber group, noting that the official and his family "go to a Jewish Church in in DC, the Temple Micah."
