Where the fuck does Michael Best, "researcher", get off publishing material THAT IS NOT HIS WORKS OR PLAINLY PUBLIC DOMAIN to IA? This is an example of the kind of material IA expects to see: https://archive.org/details/CabaleNewsServices With permission of the creator... NOT server logs he just happens to have lying around.

The main question is:
1. Why cryptome sold web logs to their paying customers?
Related questions:
2. Did they do it on purpose? 3. Did LEAs already had the logs via sniffing (at that time cryptome.org didn't have SSL AFAIK)? 4. Is it likely that the web server (and likely all internet connected machines of cryptome operators) was compromised?
