Kevin Poulsen, The Daily Beast; This Time It’s Russia’s Emails Getting Leaked
"Russian oligarchs and Kremlin apparatchiks may find the tables turned
on them later this week when a new leak site unleashes 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 for posting Russian secrets.
The site, Distributed Denial of Secrets,
was founded last month by transparency activists. Co-founder Emma Best
said the Russian leaks, slated for release on Friday, will bring into
one place dozens of different archives of hacked material that at best
has been difficult to locate, and in some cases appears to have
disappeared entirely from the web...
Distributed Denial of Secrets, or DDoS, is a volunteer effort that
launched last month. Its objective is to provide researchers and
journalists with a central repository where they can find the terabytes
of hacked and leaked documents that are appearing on the internet with
growing regularity. 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."
