And as a follow-up, will you send WikiLeaks an email asking them to do the same with the version mirrored at Cryptome.wikileaks.org/frontpage ? Course not - because the whole thing is ridiculous. Paranoia is poison when it's out of proportion, and the computing power needed to fake the files, hashes and cryptographic signatures is WAY out of proportion to any gain from it, which is hypothetical at best.

Is that how you'll label and name the files when you send them out?

Seriously, John, this is getting a little ridiculous. Is it really that easy to fake a hash and sig while making thousands of files appear to be what it's supposed to be and still add up and hash correctly?

Cryptome disavows mirrors of its archive, all of them, due to ease and evidence of tampering with files, hashes, signatures and insertion of implants by the host, platform, route, service or all.

The archives should prominently display this disavowal and name the archive "Cryptome-Disavows-This-Corrupt-Archive."
