"The WikiLeaks Threat": An Overview by Palandr Technologies, HBGary Federal, and Berico Technologies
* Security: Need to get to the Swedish document submission server. Need to create doubt about their security and increase awareness that interac6on with WikiLeaks will expose you.
* Feed the fuel between the feuding groups. Disinforma6on. Create messages around ac6ons to sabotage or discredit the opposing organiza6on. Submit fake documents and then call out the error.
* Create concern over the security of the infrastructure. Create exposure stories. If the process is believed to not be secure they are done.
* Cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on document submitters. This would kill the project. Since the servers are now in Sweden and France putting a team together to get access is more straightforward.
* Media campaign to push the radical and reckless nature of wikileaks activities. Sustained pressure. Does nothing for the fanatics, but creates concern and doubt amongst moderates.
* Search for leaks. Use social media to profile and identify risky behavior of employees.
* Palantir is broadly deployed throughout the National intelligence and defense communities.
* Comprised of decorated talent with proven analytical expertise from throughout the Armed Forces.
* Traditional responses will fail; we must employ the best investigative team, currently employed by the most sensitive of national security agencies...

Former NSA experts say it wasn’t a hack at all, but a leak — an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system.
