I think until there is satisfactory evidence that Assange is safe and still behind the wikileaks web, social media properties, etc. we should assume that they have been co-opted. Publishing the hashes is meant to serve as a canary for this exact class of concern. Furthermore we have not seen any public appearances from Assange since his Internet access was cut, nor has anything been signed with his pgp key. edit: upo…
Besides "Assange was assassinated by Hillary Clinton and Obama", are there any other actual theories?
Which would mean that the KGB had conducted a fairly elaborate operation on British soil, something that would be inconvenient to air. So, Assange as a public figure would still be history, if that's the case.

I thought this was an interesting comment in a related r/bestof thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/5d37lj/wikileaks_la...
This 8ch.net thread also has some good technical analysis: http://8ch.net/tech/res/679042.html might have nsfw ads watch out
Does Wikileaks periodically obtain new insurance files? If not, how can they guarantee that the information/evidence contained therein is current enough to generate high impact? Times change, and some of us once thought a businessman with a questionable past and unsavory connections would never be elected president. Which is to say: what the public gets outraged about today may not be much of anything tomorrow.
Basically the idea behind it is that this temporary empathy, followed by apathy and inaction by us after events is a political construct, to prevent the emergence of mass movements.
