The loosely organized hacker group Anonymous is now setting their sites on The World Bank and IMF.
According to sources inside of the bank, they have received credible information that Anonymous is planning an attack on them and now both organizations are on high alert. It is currently unclear on the exact reason why Anonymous is targeting them.
WikiLeaks just launched their own online clothing store via Spreadshirt where you can now get your own WikiLeaks swag. You can get t-shirts, bags, sweatshirts and more. As the site says, all proceeds from sales will go to support WikiLeaks.
If you missed the 60 Minutes Julian Assange interview last night don’t worry. CBS posted the full interview which I embedded below. I watched it and thought Steve Kroft didn’t hold back and asked all the right questions he should have. I also think that Julian Assange answered well, intelligently and was very careful with his wording — but was able to get his point across. Overall I would say the interview went well for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks and in their favor to the public eye. What are your thoughts?
Yesterday Salon picked up a story from Birgitta Jónsdóttir, who is a member of the Parliament in Iceland, that she was just notified by Twitter that the U.S. Dept of Justice has subpoenaed Twitter in direct relation to her Twitter account.
In a televised discussion on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange with CNN, Fran Townsend and Glenn Greenwald - I would say it’s safe to say that Glenn Greenwald taught CNN a thing or two about journalism. It’s sad that CNN doesn’t even know what journalism is. Watch the vid and you decide for yourself.
WikiLeaks can’t seem to escape the roadblocks that they are constantly presented with. Per the NY Times, an unofficial WikiLeaks App was just removed by Apple “because it violated our developer guidelines” per Trudy Muller, an Apple Spokesperson. “Apps must comply with all local laws and may not put an individual or group in harm’s way.”
The app, was avalable for $1.99 and its developer promised to donate $1 for every download to organizations that “promote the future of online democracy.”
“I give you private information on corporations for free and I’m a villian. Mark Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money and he is man of the year.”
If you thought the entire WikiLeaks saga couldn’t get any more strange, weird, interesting, exciting, then think again. This might not be super exciting, but it just adds to the entire WikiLeaks story as something that fits right in perfectly.
The WikiLeaks servers, which are based in Sweden are actually part of a cave. A cave fitted for the likes of Batman or James Bond even. The cave, or in reality a former cold war bunker is located in the Pionen White Mountain in Sweden which is located nearly 100 feet below the granite rocks of Stockholm’s Vita Berg Park.
Bored? Then take your stab at the WikiLeaks game. Yeah, WikiLeaks has been so much in the media these days they even made a game out of it. It’s not very hard, but hey, it passes the time. I was able to beat it after a few tries. Think you can beat it? Give it a try below.
The premise is that you are Julian Assange trying to infiltrate President Obama and download top secret files from the White House. The game was made by JeuxJeuxJeux.fr. Enjoy!
WikiLeaks has been shut down by every domain provider in the world. But thanks to our good friends at Google, you can still view all of WikiLeaks cables via Google Cache. Here’s how:
Here is the Google Cache URL:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:
Any URL that you enter after “cache:” will be the cached page of that website. You will need each individual WikiLeaks URL of each cable to view them. It would take a while to view them all, but it’s possible.
