just go quietly out of business
Perhaps they should change their motto to...
"We help you safely get caught."
There seems to be a lack of technical thought\security in publishing documents. Not just on this story but others as well.
This was a big story and I can see why they would want to push it through but with no forethought they screwed over their source.
Way to go wikileakS.org....way to go...
Really? Have you been following this story at all? The emails weren't leaked from wikileaks. They were leaked from 4chan.org then copied to wikileaks. What kind of bullshit posting is this?
I saw the title of this posting and had to comment that it is inaccurate and clarify the issue for your readers. The emails were never leaked directly to Wikileaks, as Anonymous said above they were leaked onto 4chan and then multiple other websites. Then somebody else must have posted them to Wikileaks. The person was caught because they indicated which proxy service they used when accessing the emails. The FBI then contacted the proxy service providers (who had commented that they will support any investigation) and it was determined who the perpetrator was.
This posting implies that the person posted the emails onto Wikileaks which then gave up the name to the authorities. That is completely false
@ brad - read it again - the posting says nothing of the sort.
Wikileaks have admitted that they did not edit out the identifiable proxy service details in the webpage screenshots, which may have identified who uploaded the "leak" to their system.
Whether that was actually the person who first accessed the email account illegally or not is irrelevant.
