Wikileaks posted a massive trove of internal Democratic National Committee emails online Friday, in what the organization dubbed the first of a new "Hillary Leaks" series.

The cache includes nearly 20,000 emails and more than 8,000 file attachments from the inboxes of seven key staffers of the DNC, including communications director Luis Miranda and national finance director Jordan Kaplan, according to the Wikileaks website. The emails span from January 2015 through late May and are presented in a searchable database.

The cache appears to contain sensitive personal information about some donors, including Social Security numbers, passport numbers and credit card information.

I've seen a few articles on different outlets talking about top DNC officials expressing disdain or suggesting certain actions taken against the Sanders campaign, but not sure how much fire there is to that smoke. There may be more yet to come.

gg Wikileaks, keep burning that credibility as ethical "journalists"

 

[xxracerxx]

Being able to search for words used is amazing.

Asshole:

The asshole from fox emailed us again.

I did some research and there’s still no “fuck you” emoji, unfortunately.

Kind of disgusting that Wikileaks just dumped a bunch of credit card numbers of Democratic donors.

 

[Otnopolit]

Real great use of vigilante justice, exposing innocent people's personal information to be snatched up and used. Idiots. Get something useful and don't harm others if you're going to break the law for some kind of "justice".

They're run by a rapist and were defending Nero today, what did you expect, lol.

Would you expect any different?

Oh, to be clear, this is exactly what I expect.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

So they proved the DNC was frustrated with some stuff Sanders did, no surprise, while also throwing out innocent people's information?

 

[TheFatOne]

Is Wikileaks run by monkeys? How the fuck do you release innocent peoples information like that. Just beyond stupid.

Wikileaks is anti-American and they don't give a shit about American citizens. They only care about damaging America.

Having done a few searches of the term "contribution" as referenced on Gizmodo, I don't see any credit card number or SSNs, but I haven't done too much searching. Lots of personal information though.

They're too busy defending Milo's right to be on twitter to be bothered with unimportant stuff like that.

They're trash.

Wait like the Roman Emperor?

 

[Hazmat]

Does anyone remember those couple weeks where Wikileaks seemed like agents of truth and freedom fighters instead of outing people in Afghanistan that collaborated with the US and apparently blindly leaking stuff about their political enemies?

 

[Intheflorsh]

Fucking why? I've stuck up for them in the past, but this is indefensible.

 

[The Lamonster]

Donor SSNs and credit card numbers? Yeah fuck off Wikileaks.

Julian Assange is Republican/Libertarian. He doesn't like innocent people.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I think they mean Milo Yianpoopdopolis. He went by @nero on twitter.

It's not transparency until all of your personal information is available on the internet.

 

[Futureman]

Why would you have to give your SSN to donate to the DNC?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Wait like the Roman Emperor?

No, the Breitbart writer who wrote 30 articles smearing women associated with video games, promoted NeoNazis, and used someone arrested for trying to help ISIS as a source for why someone in BLM wasn't actually black.

 

[Xe4]

Did they get this from the Russians that hacked the DNC? Regardless, fuck them and the rapist that runs them.

Asshole monkeys they were defending Milos

So they support white supremacy

Ya, this isn't noble in the least. At the very least if you are going to dump this do some research first and tell people what the important, ground breaking revelations are that justify this course of action.

 

[Gattsu25]

No, like the person that orchestrated harassment campaigns against women on Twitter.

 

[Jacob]

In this context, Nero refers to the Twitter handle of Milo Yiannopoulos, alt-right commenter and professional troll, who was recently permabanned from Twitter.

Edit: beaten like Milo by the banhammer.

 

[Kinyou]

They're too busy defending Milo's right to be on twitter to be bothered with unimportant stuff like that.

They're trash.

They also released a bunch of Erdogan emails, that might at least yield some good

Sure buddy sure ...

 

[BrutishMrFish]

How is this any different from the Sony leaks that had a shitload of personal information?

WikiLeaks literally put in the same care and respect for people's privacy that fucking North Korea did. Pathetic.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

What the fuck. Why would you not redact?

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I didn't like wikileaks to begin with, but this is... wow.

They couldn't even bother to go through and remove the credit card numbers and SSN's?

Well, wasn't this hack a russian state sponsored one?

 

[jett]

Credit card information? That's just fucked.

What was the point of this? I don't get what this leak accomplishes.

 

[Wilsongt]

Freedom of information, am i rite? Don't post personal information bullshit. Jesus christ

 

[Maxim726X]

I'll be honest, seeing shit like this is going to prevent me from donating in the future.

Disgusting behavior.

This isn't even a leak in the traditional sense of the word. It's stolen information acquired by Russian hackers.

Boosting their alt right friends in the election.

If you didn't understand why Manning (Wikileaks Docudump) and Snowden (leak to specific journalists) are often treated with vastly different amounts of respect by people, this is why.

Fuck wikileaks.

Wow reading emails about vetting party hosts for the with their social security numbers.

If my Facebook feed is anything to go by, it lets a few smug Sanders supporters claim the game was rigged against Bernie.

 

[wrowa]

I don't get the point of this leak. What is it supposed to achieve or reveal? Just a leak for leaking's sake?

 

[TI82]

Wondering if there's a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess. Specifically, DWS had to call Bernie directly in order to get the campaign to do things because they'd either ignored or forgotten to something critical. She had to call Bernie after the data breach to make his staff to respond to our concerns. Even then they didn't get back to us, which is why we had to shut off their access in order to get them to finally let us know exactly how they snooped around HFA's data. Same was true with the standing committee appointments. They never got back to us with their names (HFA and even O'Malley got there's in six weeks earlier) for the committees. So, again, the chair had to call Bernie personally for his staff to finally get us critical information. So, they gave us an awful list just a few days before we had to make the announcements. It's not a DNC conspiracy, it's because they never had their act together.

Sad they seem to have been against Bernie from the beginning. Oh well.

Snowden essentially did it right, though he still leaked a bunch of stuff he had no reason to. Assange is just an asshole.

Sad they seem to have been against Bernie from the beginning. Oh well.

Sarcasm? Because the quote says the exact opposite. They're complaining that he didn't do what he needed to do and had to be babysat the whole time.
