This is beyond messed up. Twitter never suspended Wikileaks or blocked access to WL links over their publishing, but they’re doing it now because of #BlueLeaks, a 270gb set of leaked police documents
This is what happens when you try tweeting a link to DDOSecret's website
Here's what happens when you try sending a DDOSecrets link as a direct message
If you're not familiar with DDoSecrets or #BlueLeaks, it's a collection of internal memos, financial records, and more from over 200 state, local, and federal agencies wired.com/story/blueleak…
Twitter has PERMANENTLY suspended DDoSecrets for "violating its policy about the distribution of hacked data"
None of the documents in #BlueLeaks are even classified. Twitter is engaging in censorship of leaked police documents at a point in time where police around the US are being exposed for their systemic racism, lawlessness and complete lack of accountability

Gold started AFLDS to push ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as miracle cures for COVID-19 (they aren't), and to lie about vaccine safety. Last year I revealed that AFLDS convinced at least 72k people to spend at least $15M on fake COVID drugs theintercept.com/2021/09/28/cov…
Gold sent her letter to Musk based on this "breaking" news tweet that got ~200k likes. Of course there's little evidence that @elonmusk actually has any plans for this
I don't think people fully appreciate just how much, after invading Ukraine, people are hacking Russia. There are multiple hacks a week and it's only increasing. For first time in internet history Russia is fair game for cyber attacks, and this is what it looks like 🧵
Distributed Denial of Secrets has been archiving these dumps and making them torrents. DDoSecrets has been around for a few years but made a big splash in 2020, during BLM protests by publishing hacked data on hundreds of US local/federal police sites theintercept.com/2020/08/17/blu…
Twitter permanently banned the @DDoSecrets account then, and also took the extraordinary step of banning links to ddosecrets dot com itself. Go ahead and try tweeting that URL, it won't work.
Anyway, DDoSecrets has 7 Russian datasets from March and another 20 from April (so far)
Donation site used by Freedom Convoy suffers 3rd data leak in two weeks. The new hack includes "a full 2.5 GB MySQL database dump, source code for their Bitbucket repo, information from their customer service systems” and limited credit card data dailydot.com/debug/givesend…
I'm starting to look at the latest GiveSendGo leak. The MySQL dump, called gsg_prod_v4_20220211.sql, appears to be a complete dump of their production database. It includes the entire donor history of everyone who's donated to any campaign before February 11, last Friday
The tbl_users table has 170,944 rows -- this is probably everyone who has made an account on GiveSendGo... and everyone's passwords are hashed with md5, though at least they're salted
I've been reading the newly unsealed US v Assange affidavit, written by FBI special agent Megan Brown. Here are some parts that I find interesting courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
The alleged crime was in 2010, but Brown wasn't assigned to the case until 2017. I think this adds weight to the argument that Obama DOJ decided they couldn't move forward for press freedom reasons, but Trump DOJ decided to just go for it, because screw the free press
The affidavit says that according to Chelsea Manning, she was a source for an Iceland-related WL release. A forensic analysis of her DoD computer let them know exactly which files were burned to a CD, and when
Govs around the world, including China & Russia, but also US and allies, conduct "supply chain attacks", where they insert hardware implants into servers and routers before they get shipped to surveillance targets, according to Snowden documents theintercept.com/2019/01/24/com…
In October Bloomberg published a widely-disputed story claiming China conducted supply chain attacks against Supermicro motherboards. While the specific story may be completely wrong, supply chain attacks definitely happen bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Our story, based on previous Snowden reporting, on docs that have previously been published but never analyzed, and on new docs we're publishing today, doesn't address Bloomberg's claims. But it's clear that the US takes seriously the threat from Chinese supply chain tampering
LulzSec hacktivist Jeremy Hammond, who hacked private intelligence firm @Stratfor and leaked data to WikiLeaks in 2012, is beginning his third week in solitary confinement. He's been accused of "minor assault" for bumping a prison guard with a door theintercept.com/2018/12/04/jer…
UN's expert on torture said solitary confinement "can amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment," and called for an absolute prohibition on >15 days in solitary (about how long Jeremy's been there so far) because it can lead to lasting mental damage
Jeremy has been taking college classes through a prison education system, was on track to getting an Associate's Degree next semester. Since he's been in solitary, he's been forced to miss classes, can't turn in assignments, is missing finals
