More evidence that the site has probably been compromised, yet again:

Excerpt from 2003 subpoena, via http://cryptome.org/cryptome-log.htm:

 ----- BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE -----
Hash SHA1

CRYPTOME

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS

AFFIDAVIT

I, John Young, administrator of Cryptome, hereby declare that logs of 
Cryptome are deleted daily, or more often during heavy traffic, to protect 
the privacy of visitors to the site. Cryptome does not own or know the 
location of the machine which hosts its virtual private server under a 
service agreement with NTT Verio. There are several international mirrors 
of the files on Cryptome, all of which, to the best of my knowledge, delete 
logs to protect privacy of visitors.

Attested and communicated to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by this 
PGP-signed statement published on Cryptome, 6 January 2003:

Logs going back to 1996?  That'd be perjury.  I don't buy it.

Domain is not for sale at the registrar and transfer is still prohibited.  Fyi.
