Julian Assange of WikiLeaks turns himself in. The hunt is over; let the games begin https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/12/julian-assange-of-wikileaks-turns-himself-in-the-hunt-is-over-let-the-games-begin/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/12/julian-assange-of-wikileaks-turns-himself-in-the-hunt-is-over-let-the-games-begin/#respond Tue, 07 Dec 2010 00:31:58 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=3674 Read More]]> Wow, just saw this on the ‘The Telegraph‘….

“Mr Assange is expected to voluntarily attend a police station within the next 24 hours, and will then appear in a magistrates’ court. He is wanted over allegations of sexual assault in Sweden.

He is currently in hiding in the south-east of England but police are understood to have the necessary paperwork to arrest him.”

But like I said, the games are just beginning.. As we know lots of encrypted files have been pushed around labeled ‘insurance’ that is understood to contain more sensitive leaks. I don’t think Assange turned himself in thinking; ‘yea, the interwebs have my back’.  I think its more that he has no where left to go.  Earlier the Swiss closed his back account and basically he has been unable to raise any real money because of the constant hounding by the GA. ( WTH is the GA? )

However, you know that he has been spending his time trying to collect as many chips as he can and the encryptied files are one of his largest chips…  But he is going to find its pretty much useless.

The problem is no one is going to trust that he will keep the password to himself and given all the information he has released so far, most authorities figure whatever additional damage he can do is not with a dagger swinging over their heads.  But that is what chips we KNOW of.

This should be interesting.

Do you really what to take down a Wikileaks? Kill the messager, but that still may not work https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/12/do-you-really-what-to-take-down-a-wikileaks-kill-the-messager-but-that-still-may-not-work/ https://www.perivision.net/wordpress/2010/12/do-you-really-what-to-take-down-a-wikileaks-kill-the-messager-but-that-still-may-not-work/#respond Fri, 03 Dec 2010 22:19:06 +0000 http://www.perivision.net/wordpress/?p=3660 Read More]]> The news that the Global Authorities, (no you never heard of this group because they are not a formal group) have decided to go after Wikileaks.  No much of a surprise given the latest round of leaks which embarrassed lots of countries, (not just the US) and the BOA leaks.  Now you are pissing off both Gov. and big business.

Rules of thumb here, NEVER piss off both world leaders and big business, because then you have clicked 2 of the 3 core influencers of the GA.  Well, Wikileaks did just that and now the GA has called the cyber police dogs to mow over Wikileaks.  Step one?  Kill the servers.  Yesterday Amazon kicked Wikileaks offline.  First with no comment, then later saying they could not handle the flood of DDoS attacks.  Today, EveryDNS.net removed Wikileaks.com from the DNS servers thus making that URL resolve to no where.  So its over for wikileaks right?  Not really.

Wikileaks lives on at http://wikileaks.ch/  and mirror links are being setup.  Course, the DDoS attack to .ch is only a matter of time.  And blocking the DNS is also a matter of time.  But at some point they will get so toxic that no one will host them for any amount of time.

But there are PLENTY of underground sites that keep on run, they seem to keep ahead of the law, why should we expect anything different with wikileaks?  Because they pissed off a lot of powerful people, people with lots of reach …  this will be interesting to watch.

Share and Enjoy !
