WHAT THE F**K IS WIKILEAKS? The word is getting tossed around like confetti these days, but many of us are still in the dark as to what it's all about. WikiLeaks is a whistle-blowing website that publishes sensitive materials from governments and other high-profile organizations. Where do they get their information and how does it work? By far the most common, and most damaging, source of leaks is insiders who secretly collect the information and then send it to WikiLeaks. Insiders might do this out of a sense of justice or as a form of retaliation against an employer UPLORD In the case of the Sarah Palin Yahoo! email account and the Climate Research Unit email account, a hacker had to break into the accounts and steal the emails. In the case of the British National Party membership list, the web site for the organization accidentally posted its membership list on its web site for a short period of time, and someone snagged a copy before it disappeared. WikiLeaks aims at being a safe place for airing documentation of corporate or governmental misdeeds. It is a safe haven for anyone, anywhere in the world, to submit sensitive information that can then be read by the public, with the ultimate aims being transparency and justice through public communication.
