I wonder what are the risks associated with downloading and sharing such torrents. Evidently, anyone getting them becomes a highly visible target and once the content of these torrents is known, you could become involved in the distribution of classified data. Even if the content is not known, it could be viewed as an 'unfriendly' act and could make you become a "target of interest" to some zealous 3-letter agency...…

I almost thought this comment was going to be a parody of the other! I'm kinda curious though. At $87/hour, she worked about 250 hours, which works out to be about 57 hours a week. If she only works a few hours at her laptop, the fuck is she doing the rest of the time?
Living the high life and spending it all!

The problem with doing that is that the US government might release the information themselves, just dampened a bit with some PR, so the insurance files aren't worth anything and so WikiLeaks don't get the credit.
Which would generally imply that they're not very good insurance files. I had the last one for a bit, and deleted it just now because I'm seriously doubtful these things are anything more then /dev/urandom piped into a file.

And what if I'm not a USA citizens, they are watching me anyway. Anyway, if I were on the NSA's office, watching everyday comments on Hacker-News I'd already have targeted half it's crowd potentially dangerous to the security of the country, just for being so interested in national security matters. Those Geeks!!!
Wait, wait. You're saying there's a way to get paid to read HN all day? Where do I sign?

Re: Wikileaks Releases New 'Insurance' Files
#49This seems like a good plan to me, but can any crypto pros poke holes in it?
Clearly, just use a standard solution (PGP). Don't do this with a weak passphrase, and use key-strengthening (bcrypt etc.) just in case. Assange is pretty good at crypto, so I'd expect Wikileaks to broadly get this right. Also, they already got in trouble for reusing a password ( http://boingboing.net/2011/08/31/wikileaks-guardian-journali... ), so I'm pretty sure they won't do that again...
Not really. He gave a moron the password to a publicly distributed insurance file instead of making a new encrypted file just for him.

That's funny hijackson, because My roomate's mother makes $87 hourly on the laptop. She has been fired for 7 months but last month her pay was $21739 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more here=====>>>>>=====www.jobs34.com

Or maybe, to paraphrase a sibling comment, she's working on the blacktop?
