Every anti-secrecy group operates in the long shadow of WikiLeaks. But that doesn’t mean WikiLeaks is off limits. Distributed Denial of Secrets, a semi-anonymous group of transparency activists, on Tuesday released the AssangeLeaks. It’s a collection of files that DDoSecrets says is meant to “illustrate how WikiLeaks operates behind closed doors” at a time when WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is facing criminal charges in the U.S. in connection with a series of disclosures that contained information stolen from the U.S. military and other sources. DDoSecrets on June 19 published an unrelated database called #BlueLeaks, a collection of files including police training materials, police safety guidelines, covert data collection techniques and protest containment strategies. Upon that release, scholars who have followed the past generation of information activism, in which groups like Anonymous and WikiLeaks publish hacked information, suggested that DDoSecrets had emerged as a leading group of digital demonstrators.

After Twitter blacklisted an emerging anti-secrecy group for distributing a vast collection of data stolen from U.S. law enforcement agencies, a co-founder of the WikiLeaks-style startup says it won’t go away quietly. Emma Best, who helps lead Distributed Denial of Secrets, announced on a personal account Tuesday that Twitter had permanently banned the @DDoSecrets account for violating the company’s rules about distributing hacked materials. The move came four days after DDoSecrets published 269 GB of information, including training manuals and guides on containing protesters, initially taken from more than 200 U.S. police agencies. That publication marked the most significant form of hacktivism in recent memory, inserting DDoSecrets into the national news cycle alongside reports about police officers killing unarmed Black Americans. Earlier this month, a Twitter account positing itself as tied to Anonymous claimed to leak data tied to the Minneapolis Police Department. That data turned out to be scraped […]

“We must care as much about securing our systems as we care about running them if we are to make the necessary revolutionary change.” -CIA’s Wikileaks Task Force.
So ends a key section of a report the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency produced in the wake of a mammoth data breach in 2016 that led to Wikileaks publishing thousands of classified documents stolen from the agency’s offensive cyber operations division. The analysis highlights a shocking series of security failures at one of the world’s most secretive organizations, but the underlying weaknesses that gave rise to the breach also unfortunately are all too common in many organizations today.
