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

of course people can twist the narrative to make it look like wikileaks
is evil. 

Jeez, what's wrong with Facebook? http://www.cnet.com/news/ads-to-blame-for-malware-in-facebooks-farm-town/#!

Oh my good, Reddit too?! http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/reddit-powered-botnet-infected-thousands-of-macs-worldwide/
