Read moreAs news breaks that the UK government has issued a DA notice, effectively asking to be briefed by newspaper editors before any new revelations are published it worth noting that there is no obligation on media to comply. DA-notices point to a set of guidelines, agreed by the government departments and the media. In this case newspaper editors would speak to Defence, Press and Broadcasting Advisory Committee prior to publication.

Read moreA computer hacker who calls himself “The Jester” claimed responsibility for the cyber attack which took down the WikiLeaks site Sunday, shortly before it started posting hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. diplomatic cables.
The Jester, who describes himself as a “hacktivist for good,” said he took the controversial site down “for attempting to endanger the lives of our troops, ‘other assets’ & foreign relations.”
He normally attacks Islamist websites, announcing “TANGO DOWN” on his Twitter account when claiming to have attacked a site. “Tango Down” is Special Forces jargon for having eliminated a terrorist.
Over the past few days, the Jester has targeted a handful of websites for reasons including “online incitement to cause young Muslims to carry out acts of violent jihad,” “distributing jihadist instructional materials,” and “for the online radicalization of young Muslims in US and Europe.”
The Jester describes himself as “an ex-soldier with a rather famous unit, country purposely not specified.”
“I was involved with supporting Special Forces, I have served in (and around) Afghanistan amongst other places,” he told the website threatchaos.com early this year.
WikiLeaks said in September that it had prepared an unspecified “insurance policy” against its site being taken down.
“This annoyed me… so I got busy,” the Jester wrote on his blog in September.
Read moreI got a lot of funny looks four years ago when I started talking to people about Wikileaks.
Let’s just say some people were skeptical of the notion that volunteers from all across the world could come together to dump just insane amounts of confidential or even classified information onto an unsuspecting public.
No ads. So much agenda. No strings attached except the part where I’m on the run for the rest of my life.
Now here we are, millions upon millions of documents released into the Internet-connected world.
It is the 5th most terrifying website in the world – but Wikileaks isn’t anything like a commercial website. It is a community creation, written by unsuspecting volunteers failing to secure one confidential document at a time. If you’re in government or business there’s a good chance that you will soon become part of our community one way or another. And I’m writing today to ask you to protect and sustain Wikileaks.
Together, we can keep it free of charge and full of secrets. We can keep it open – you can use the information in Wikileaks any way you want. We can keep it growing – hustling knowledge everywhere, and imposing transparency on everyone.
Each year at this time, we reach out to ask you and others all across the diplomatic, business, intelligence and military community to help sustain our joint enterprise with a modest donation of 20, 35, 50,000 or more documents.
If you value Wikileaks as a source of information – and a source of inspiration – I hope you’ll choose to act right now.
All the best,
Julian Assange
Founder, Wikileaks
P.S. Wikileaks is about the power of people like us to do extraordinary things. People like you write Wikileaks, one word at a time. People like us populate it, thousands of documents at a time. It’s proof of our collective potential to change the world.
