Fwd: [ PFIR ] Wikileaks Published Dozens of Malware Links in Email Dump
WTF!!! Wow, now I am scared! What is happening with Wikileaks? Ô.Ô ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "PFIR (People For Internet Responsibility) Announcement List" < pfir@pfir.org> Date: Aug 15, 2016 2:28 PM Subject: [ PFIR ] Wikileaks Published Dozens of Malware Links in Email Dump To: <pfir-list@pfir.org> Wikileaks Published Dozens of Malware Links in Email Dump http://gizmodo.com/wikileaks-published-dozens-of-malware-links-in-email-du-1785293372?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+gizmodo%2Ffull+%28Gizmodo%29 Anyone searching the Wikileaks database can easily download malware attachments by clicking on the wrong link. Dr. Bontchev disclosed the links safely in his report, and also said his findings were "by no means exhaustive." He said most of the malware discovered was "run-of-the mill" spam, scam, phishing attacks inciting you to click on the attachment, which is terrible news for journalists and anti-censorship advocates investigating the leak.

Nothing, the emails were published as is. They contained malware in the first place, and wikileaks decided to err on the side of integrity by publishing them *with* the malware. Who knows, maybe there you will find the spear-phish email used to hack the DNC in the first place. of course people can twist the narrative to make it look like wikileaks is evil.

Full disclosure. If you get all the e-mails, they are going to contain the original spam, scams, malware links and phishing attacks. :o)
