Wikileaks has issued a formal invitation to Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak to discuss the future of Malaysia together with leader of the opposition party, Pakatan Rakyat, in a debate session which would be moderated by Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange.
Wikileaks announced on Saturday that founder Julian Assange will run for a seat in the Australian Senate, although the details of which state that will be in have yet to be revealed. Wikileaks also announced that it is looking for a candidate to take on Prime Minister Julia Gillard in her Victorian seat.
Here's something for you to think about: Was the arrest last week of the five LulzSec members just part of an intermediate stop gap in the pursuit of a far more prominent fugitive, namely Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks?
Congress is doing it again: they’re proposing overbroad regulations that could have dire consequences for our Internet ecology. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011 (H.R. 3523), introduced by Rep. Mike Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, allows companies or the government1 free rein to bypass existing laws in order to monitor communications, filter content, or potentially even shut down access to online services for “cybersecurity purposes.” Companies are encouraged to share data with the government and with one another, and the government can share data in return.
Allow me to state the obvious: Sometimes a so-called “leaked email” is just a bunch of words someone posted on the Internet.
Update: It's a hoax.
It appears that Stratfor CEO, George Friedman has tendered (or intends to tender) his resignation effective immediately citing the release of 5 million internal Statfor emails by Wikileaks'. From Pastebin (courtesy of @AnonymousIRC):
The anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said it would begin publishing more than five million emails on Monday from a US-based global security think tank, apparently obtained by hackers.
In its latest high-profile disclosure, WikiLeaks said in a statement it had acquired access to a vast haul of internal and external correspondence of Strategic Forecasting Inc (Stratfor), based in Austin Texas.
It's a few days before Christmas, and Julian Assange has just finished moving to a new hide-out deep in the English countryside. The two-bedroom house, on loan from a WikiLeaks supporter, is comfortable enough, with a big stone fireplace and a porch out back, but it's not as grand as the country estate where he spent the past 363 days under house arrest, waiting for a British court to decide whether he will be extradited to Sweden to face allegations that he sexually molested two women he was briefly involved with in August 2010.
Attorneys for US Army Private Bradley Manning began presenting their defence, on Wednesday, of the low-ranking soldier blamed for one of the biggest intelligence breaches in US history.
The defence called its first witnesses to the stand this morning at a hearing being held to determine whether Manning should face a court-martial on charges that could send him to prison for life.
Former computer hacker Adrian Lamo has testified that he led authorities to the suspected source of the biggest leak of classified documents in U.S. history after several days of online chats with Bradass87, an online alias suspected to be used by Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning.
The 24-year-old Manning is charged with downloading thousands of classified or confidential files from the military's Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, or SIPRNet. Those files are thought to have later appeared on WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website.
