'This Time It's Russia's Emails Getting Leaked' (thedailybeast.com)
"Russian oligarchs and Kremlin apparatchiks may find the tables turned on them," writes Kevin Poulsen at The Daily Beast, reporting on a new leak site that's unleashed "a compilation of hundreds of thousands of hacked emails and gigabytes of leaked documents."
"Think of it as WikiLeaks, but without Julian Assange's aversion to posting Russian secrets."
Slashdot reader hyades1 shared their report: The site, Distributed Denial of Secrets, was founded last month by transparency activists. Co-founder Emma Best said the Russian leaks, slated for release Friday, will bring into one place dozens of different archives of hacked material that, at best, have been difficult to locate, and in some cases appear to have disappeared entirely from the web. "Stuff from politicians, journalists, bankers, folks in oligarch and religious circles, nationalists, separatists, terrorists operating in Ukraine," said Best, a national-security journalist and transparency activist. "Hundreds of thousands of emails, Skype and Facebook messages, along with lots of docs...."
The site is a kind of academic library or a museum for leak scholars, housing such diverse artifacts as the files North Korea stole from Sony in 2014, and a leak from the Special State Protection Service of Azerbaijan.
The site's Russia section already includes a leak from Russia's Ministry of the Interior, portions of which detailed the deployment of Russian troops to Ukraine at a time when the Kremlin was denying a military presence there. Though some material from that leak was published in 2014, about half of it wasn't, and WikiLeaks reportedly rejected a request to host the files two years later, at a time when Julian Assange was focused on exposing Democratic Party documents passed to WikiLeaks by Kremlin hackers. "A lot of what WikiLeaks will do is organize and re-publish information that's appeared elsewhere," said Nicholas Weaver, a researcher at the University of California at Berkeley's International Computer Science Institute. "They've never done that with anything out of Russia."
The Russian documents were posted simultaneously on the DDoSecrets website and on the Internet Archive, notes the New York Times, adding that the new site has also posted a large archive of internal documents from WikiLeaks itself.
"Personally, I am disappointed by what I see as dishonest and egotistic behavior from Julian Assange and WikiLeaks," Best tells the Times. "But she added that she had made the Russian document collection available to WikiLeaks ahead of its public release on Friday, and had posted material favorable to Mr. Assange leaked from the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he has lived for more than six years to avoid arrest."

As if Trump's week couldn't get any worse.
First Nancy strapped one on and pegged his ass in front of the whole world, then his pal Roger Stone gets the "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you" treatment and now this.
You are welcome on my lawn.
There's all kinds of PII and PHI in that stolen information.
I'm sure these folks don't care, because, like Assange, they're trolls. When they're helping your side, they're described with superlatives. When they're harming your side, they're described with expletives. They don't care. They just do what they do for their own personal reasons.
"Think of it as WikiLeaks, but without Julian Assange's aversion to posting Russian secrets."
The heck? Citation needed, EditorDavid...
It's okay, Donaldovsky will protect you, Daddy Putin.
Julian Assange's aversion to posting Russian secrets
That's news to me. What's the reason behind his reluctance to touch anything out of Russia?
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
Blatant attack of Assange RATHER than the info itself?
This whole thing smells like a CIA psyop.

I find it really strange that everyone who writes about these leaks needs to assert that Wikileaks didn't post them. I saw the same thing in the NYTimes, where they first noted that the new leaks didn't reveal any "bombshells" and then went on a tangent on how Wikileaks didn't post these leaks. Like, what are you on about? Just tell me about what is actually in the leaked e-mails.
It could have been the Russians, who regularly undertake malicious activity. But it could also be China, or a leak from within the DNC, or the Awan spy ring, who had access to DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz's computers and tablets, as well as those of some 40 other House Democrats.
It was Bernie!
He made the DNC "Feel the Bern!"

Slashdot is a tabloid website. Of course it's pushing agendas.
In Soviet Russia, email leaks YOU!
(I know, I know)
Took us two years to create them.
Guccifer 2.0 is presumed to be the "person" who supplied the DNC emails to wikileaks and, quoting wikipedia, "The U.S. Intelligence Community concluded that some of the genuine leaks that Guccifer 2.0 has said were part of a series of cyberattacks on the DNC were committed by two Russian intelligence groups. This conclusion is based on analyses conducted by various private sector cybersecurity individuals and firms, including CrowdStrike, Fidelis Cybersecurity, Fireeye's Mandiant, SecureWorks, ThreatConnect, Trend Micro, and the security editor for Ars Technica.". Wikipedia provides numerous citations to back that up. idk if the U.S. Intelligence Community conducted analysis above and beyond what the private sector cybersecurity firms did but I think it's a safe assumption that they did.
Of course, I suppose you can always dismiss the U.S. Intelligence Community's analysis if you assume that it's all part of the deep state conspiracy against Trump. And the private sector firms... I guess Trump supporters can just dismiss them as peddlers of fake news too.
Someone at Slashdot seems to be pushing the "Russia supplied Wikileaks with the DNC hack info" theory as fact when it hasn't been proven.
How has it not been proven? Closing your eyes and plugging your ears to any facts you don't like is not the same as something being unproven. Also, it's funny how you claim that the only logically proven situation is false, but a bunch of right-wing conspiracy theories to deflect blame from Russia are somehow more plausible.
/Cue up the cries of "Russian bot" in 5...4...3...
You're no bot. You're just another useful idiot.
They play by different rules, which are closer to mafia tactics. For the folks running the site or stealing the docs nothing is off limits as long as there is no direct link to the top.
The Russian documents were posted simultaneously on the DDoSecrets website and on the Internet Archive, notes the New York Times, adding that the new site has also posted a large archive of internal documents from WikiLeaks itself.
You want IA shutdown? Because this is how you get IA shutdown. Playing politics. If the NYT wan'ts to host thse files, let them and suffer whatever consequences including Russia banning all of their reporters and executives. Do NOT drag IA into your little hell. FFS they actually are advertising for a ddos site.
Thanks. Sincerely, an avid IA user.
"Think of it as WikiLeaks, but without Julian Assange's aversion to posting Russian secrets."
That might be a good tactic.
I reserve the write to mangle english.
I don't know who did the "hacking", if there even was a hack from outside. Let's ask Seth Rich and see what he says about it. Well, it's too late now, isn't it? Something about file timestamps, if I remember correctly.
The charges against Trump COME LAST, OBVIOUSLY MORON. God you traitors are fucking DUMB lol.
Someone at Slashdot ...
You don't appear to be new here but you sure act like it.
Do you suppose there's any way at all that you can discover who actually authored TFA?
It little behooves the best of us to comment on the rest of us.
Someone at Slashdot seems to be pushing the "Russia supplied Wikileaks with the DNC hack info" theory as fact when it hasn't been proven.
It hasn't been proven to you. Do not presume to know what intelligence agencies know.
But the Russia theory is pushed above all because that's the one that fuels Democratic activist outrage and the "Russian collusion" fantasy
People aren't being indicted and convicted because it's a fantasy.
Cue up the cries of "Russian bot" in 5...4...3...
I don't think you're a Russian bot but I do think you are useful idiot.
Also noticed that you are just copypastaing your own site and call everything that doesn't agree with you a "hard-left outlet".
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
When Bernie was cheated out of the race, the Deep State did nothing to correct this wrongdoing. That demonstrates their corruption.
Well, you did just fail the Reverse Turing Test...
"I know I will be modded down for this": where's the option '-1, Asking for it'?
and the deep state

If you're an American saying that, you are what Russians call a "useful idiot".
American Civilization revolves around homosexual rape in prisons ?
That correlates with the largest prison population on earth per capita.
Was it the same in Sodom & Gomorrea ?
A version of Wikileaks that the western establishments can support! I'm sure it's completely trustworthy, unbiased, & documents weren't selectively "leaked" by US & UK govt. three letter agencies.
I wonder if we'll end up with an online version of Spy vs. Spy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spy_vs._Spy), where the Five Eyes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes) dump documents stolen from their adversaries on DDoS & their adversaries do the same on Wikileaks? Of course the establishment press are far more likely to report on documents leaked from/about the enemy du jour than anything embarrassing or damaging to their own governments, corporations, & powerful individuals. We might end up getting all our democratically useful news from adversarial state news agencies, e.g. Russia Today.
Debate is a form of harassment. Do not question my truth.
"A male being on the receiving end of anal sex is traditionally homosexual." - Not when Trump does it. Then it's neo-Presidential, right traitor apologist throwing out red herrings faster than a prison condom dispenser?
Just admit it. Pelosi fucked Trump with a huge nightstick of resolve, and she made the bitch cum against his will. She raped his ass. Deal with it snowflake. Don't like analogies, then pull your head out of your ass.
The Russian government uses hardened Linux and OpenBSD servers, unlike the corrupt&incompetent US elite who will use Windows and similar crapware. Plus the Russians have been very good at protecting their secrets for the last 10 decades or so.
That is because they do not indulge into moneychanger Bullshit as much as others do.
Have you been convinced to chop off your penis by a moneychanger scribbler ?
Nice job creimer. We see your amazon affiliate link.
Spam. Amazon link do not click.
Meanwhile America has killed millions in Iraq and Syria wars, JUST TO LINE THE POCKETS OF THE WAR INDUSTRY.
Nice croco tears from you though.
Also, greetings to your friends the bone saw experts.
According to your crazy ideology, white people must be ethnically cleansed, raped and mass murdered.
Very much like Stalin and Mao did.
Like all commies you cannot be Fair Losers. You can only accept winning the game. For that reason you erected monuments of bullshit in order to discredit the election which made Trump president. Just like Stalin, Lenin, Mao and PolPot. Or Mohammed.
You folks must be called the Neobrutes.
Donna Brazile was removed from her post, Wasserman was forever tainted and removed from main leadership, and either way what they did was unacceptable BUT NOT A CRIME, like Trump's campaign fraud, collusion, etc.
If you want to go over Democratic parking tickets before you address the treasonous GOP fraud in the room, you are a traitor apologist faggot, not someone actually trying to hold anyone accountable for anything real.
You're a hack, punk. Go whine about the deep state into a deep asshole like Vladimir Putin's. See if you come out clean like Paul Manafort ya bitch.
You know it is a wild goose chase and there is nothing. You do it nevertheless in order to weaken the properly elected president.
By now you operate like dyed in the wool communists, who will label anything non-communist somehow illegal.
Nobody needs you to understand what happened, willful moron. Mueller doesn't need you to get this basic shit, faggot traitor. And you forgot to mention pizzagate, so no Rubles for you bitch.
For several decades the Bankster Imperium of UKUSA has used Wahabist Terror for their Power Plays. Millions were killed by the Mohammedist Terrorists from Chechnya to Bosnia to Syria.
Mohammed Bin Salman testified about that when the Americans held his feet to the fire.
Tell me more about the monified shithole you live in.
Itâ(TM)s sort of disengious because itâ(TM)s not as if he was given Russian secrets to expose. Simply becUse he had Democrats email to expose doesnâ(TM)t meAn he wouldnâ(TM)t expose republican or Russian secrets
For ages, the Russians attacked the "Western Establishment" (i.e. anybody in government or law enforcement who was capable and not corrupt). Now, it's our time to settle the score, and take the "Russian Establishment" (who are all Chekists and serious organised criminals), down a few pegs.
Well, the Russian "Establishment" don't like it up them, do they? BOO HOO! Sucks to be you, Chekist scum. Turnabout is fair play, and karma is a magnificent righteous, vicious BITCH. Enjoy payback, arseholes.
Hats off to the people brave enough to do this. Stinky Julian Assange, being the Russophile lickspittle he is, never had the cojones to offend his GRU masters.
You are a Russia shill.
c3RhbmQgZG93biBvcGVyYXRpb25z :P
According to your retarded FOX/GOP talking point bullshit, Putin's ass tastes great and you don't even realize you're an oligarch's dick cozy. Whattabout her emails, right comrade? D'strovia.
Summary of the article: US and other watmongering states want to annihilate Assange. I'm doing my best to spread gossip against him to ease their task.
And you fail to provide any proof, because there isn't any yet. Instead you fall back on the assumption that it's true because the media has been ramming it into your skull for the past two years straight. Hey, if the media keeps saying it, it must be true, right?
fuck off you god damn faggot putin cock holster
G2 is a fraud. Adam Carter has documented it, if you're really curious. But if you want something really easy to understand, just try to find anything damning that G2 released. You won't find anything because there was nothing interesting in the G2 "hack". Which suggests it was a selected leak, made to look like a "hack". In fact, G2's description of what he "hacked" was laughably backwards. He said he found pay-to-play, when what he "found" was documentation from someone looking for (and not finding) pay-to-play in TARP payments.
Curious how the "U.S. Intelligence Community" has any respect after the numerous times it has propagandized, toppled governments and gotten us into wars on lies. How quickly we've forgotten "weapons of mass destruction" now that the "U.S. Intelligence Community" is the enemy of our enemy.
If you don't believe there is a deep state it's because you've been fooled by the biggest propaganda campaign in history. Don't be a damned tool.
I'm as lefty as they get, BTW. Not a fan of Trump.
Assange doesn't release anything he can't verify authentic, which is a challenge when it is in Russian. But he did solicit material embarrassing to Trump. And don't forget that the same people who are cursing him over outing the DNC as a cheating tool of the Clinton cabal were cheering him when he was releasing things embarrassing to Bush.
What else is new.
People aren't being indicted and convicted of collusion with Russia. There's even a handy table that summarizes the charges for you.
Also, I am hard left.
Did she read all this stuff she's posting? I bet if there's anything interesting in there it will snare the wrong side.
Sometimes regular people just can't believe that somebody could lie *that* blatantly, and with a straight face.
But this was no accident.
It's "Iraq's WMDs" all over again.
Nevermind that Wikileaks has published all leaks from all stated since its beginning. Including previous Russian leaks.
Gotta keep the nationalist hate up.
You say that like there isn't an uncollected power establishment composed of corporations and appointed officials. Who votes for positions on the Council on Foreign Relations? Who voted for all the CIA officials who lied to Congress while spying on Congress? The ones that spy on presidential candidates and even elected presidents? These are undisputable facts, not Alex Jones rambling about the Illuminati or the Rothschilds. Fuck, man, it's only within the last week that a deputy director of the FBI admitted on live television that it's their job to suppress the wrong sort of people from getting elected to government.
Total. Shit. For. Brains. You, and your upraters.
I have personally downloaded numerous Russian leaks from Wikileaks!!
How blatant a liar are you? Holy hell! You must think we are completely retarded and never checked!
Nobody "spied" on anybody without a fucking warrant, so you can rot in prison with the rest of the traitors and drink your toilet whine, but you are not a victim of anything but your OWN STUPIDITY AND CHUTZPAH.
You might want to visit the library and open a newspaper, those conspiracy videos are getting to you.
You seem about 2 years behind on current events. I guess that is the last time you made it to the surface.
This whole article may as well be a bait story to log and cross correlate the IPs of Russian paid trolls. The sqf thing is there are some idiots who aren't even being paid to post that whataboutism deflection.
"There have been numerous leaks.." Like what? Citation needed, dearie.
And is the claim that WL has never leaked anything shitty russia has done? If not, please cite the list in sufficient number that this becomes a pattern rather than a non-perfect record, plz.
There is a claim of "numerous leaks" but not one link to someone leaking them while WL doesn't.
PS See https://wikileaks.org//spyfiles/russia/
If the OP didn't know that the claims were valid due to not knowing the evidence for it, then they were making a fallacious claim. Putin after all said he didn't do anything WRT the death of an ex spy in the UK. Just parroting that is either deliberate partisanship or has to be based on evidence known about, therefore can be cited.
If they don't have any idea if the quote was real, then they are a dumbass and parroting PR.
If they AREN'T full of shit, then they would know that the quote is backed up by evidence, which they can therefore provide.
The US documents got walked out by a human.
Like the Pentagon papers. A domestic political release to the media.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
That Hillary is a Russian because of the level of her alcoholism.
That you would conflate life and death information about US empire (as are readily found in WikiLeaks publications) with personal peccadilloes about Assange speaks very badly about you and your priorities, and says nothing about Assange or WikiLeaks. Greenwald has made an impressive reputation for keeping his comments on very important matters of state and not letting personal trifles steer him from informing us about what we ought to consider. So much of this ad job promoting these leaks reads the opposite way: Emma Best's own words, the coverage of Emma Best's work here come off as vague attempts at trying to downplay the importance of WikiLeaks and distract away from the content of the leaks via vastly overstated claims about Assange's ego. I don't care how big his ego is; given the importance of the leaks WikiLeaks and Greenwald have published I say they're both incredibly important to the public. And guilt by association with parties (it's assumed) we're not supposed to like (oh no -- Russians!) is remarkably clueless (such as the recent New York Times article about Emma Best) given that the NYT was fine to base articles on WikiLeaks leaks not that long ago.
Digital Citizen
The emails leak you
Wow, I checked out your blog. I'm not saying that that Trump Derangement Syndrome isn't a thing...but somebody has a pretty serious case of Hilary Derangement Syndrome.
You know, Ivan, every time you include obscure Russian slang in your shitposts, that makes it really obvious you're a Russian troll.
do they talk about eating LOTS AND LOTS of pizza in clear code words? i dont speak communist ;(
The only way out, is extinction or A.I. oversight, everything else leads to bickering bullshit, like these posts, flaked with little pieces of actual opinion and truth.
Humanity doesnt thrive on that shit, thats how we evolved into the pissants we are now.
Grow the fuck up and do some good, or get bent n pegged.
To go back to the good old days when 75% of Americans thought Saddam had WMD's and was involved in 911.
To repeat for the indoctrinated...how do you think that happened, exactly?
Some deflection from the topic, since you love to use them yourself sooo much: It's surprising that you aren't also an anti-vaxxer.
After all it's about powerful American corporations corrupting and controlling the people that may be in league with the deep state. They let the whole opiate thing happen, even after having some historical evidence of what opium did to the Chinese before Mao did even worse things. And yet you seem to trust these corporations?
Well, I guess there's also a gradient for nut jobs.
It's amusing to see where people like you draw the lines between what is credible to them and what is just a bit too much.
You wanna try that again while sober?
