Oh lookout-

Legitimacy implies a sanctioning Authority.

:D

Speaking of mail vs. network transport of leakish dox...

The point of failure for a mail order drugs market is the sender:
Receivers are scattered all over and at least "slightly" hard to
identify, if the network side is not breached.  But the sender's
organization is small in number and, if suspected, easy to put a mail
cover on.

The point of failure for a mailed in leaks is the receiver:  The
receiver's location(s) and personnel small in number, and easy to put
a mail cover on.  The receiver might counter this by providing mail
drops and couriers (hopefully) unknown to the opposition, which in
cases like Wikileaks would mean reliance on network security to
transmit a one-time destination address to the prospective leaker.
Again, if the network connection is "secure enough" why not just send
the dox that way?

Numerous variations are possible, of course.  I would not consider
either option a categorically superior one in /all/ cases.  When
security really matters, try to do something new and unexpected as
well as sneaky and well protected.

:o)
