Do you really think a WordPress website from India posting obvious fake news and conspiracies should be trusted?
Do you think the source that brought you this is reliable in any way: https://archive.ph/8RGAb "Shocking Footage: Hunter Biden & Ellen Caught in Adrenochrome Bust!"

So always wait for others to do something? Don't just download it on your windows home pc with your private data of course.
In some cases, yes. An unknown threat, potentially from the supposed nation-state target itself, has a very high risk. I'm not versed in creating ultra-sterile lab conditions -- things can escape VMs, escape your network, nothing is impossible. Do I instead bring it to my employers systems and let them take the risk? And to what benefit, when I can just wait?
We are experts on HN. If we don't do it, others with less knowledge might or not might.
And no, a archive file doesn't just include a zero day. A zero day is very valuable.

I am not an LLM [edit] ( as far as I know ;-), but thanks for the profile crit I probably should tidy it up.
Yep, the safe assumption with a profile like that is that it's something automated. Also yes, that's the file size column. Uncompressed left, compressed right. It's a directory but the screenshot doesn't say how many files it contains.
"Leaked data" seems like a stretch. Sounds like someone ran a vulnerability scanner on some Twitter accounts. Don't have time to go through all the data though, so maybe there are interesting things in there.
Yikes, the archive article asked me to install Abobe Flash, and I am on Linux. I guess it is really from Russia :)

Just now you commented (and removed) that it's improbable that a file this big would be a honeypot, I don't think most users here know how to operate data safely.
I deleted it because the discussion is void. The data is on torrent trackers and on shared file hosters. You can download single files in the torrent and if you can't handle a txt file without getting an anxiety attack that's on you.
Edit as I can't reply: your behavior is quite suspicious and so is some of the new green users commenting. That is exactly what someone embedded in the hacker culture would conclude after analyzing, not feel challenged by you to hurry and open the files.
If this is real, there will be claims made and the general public has no way to verify. 10TB is technically challenging to handle for the vast majority of people. Would be really important for someone to re-upload and index the extracted files for online browsing.

People that engage in tax fraud in places like Mexico and Russia often legitimately do it because they do not want the mob/cartels to find out how much money they have and then extort them. The data gets out.
What is wrong with people. Who believes this is real? Do you really think a WordPress website from India posting obvious fake news and conspiracies should be trusted?
