I wish they’d leak Trump’s grades from college. And his associates’s trades around his tariff announcements, and all the things.

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?
Cloud VM. Costs you a dollar per hour and has fast download speed. 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.
Fair enough, my morning brain didn't think cloud, though i guess one could argue you're still passing off the risk onto someone else. Either way, its not my expertise

#73CAREFUL - it could very well be an attempt to get you to download malware.
- As pointed out by constantcrying, this was published by Trendsnewsline, "an Indian right wing conspiracy news website": https://archive.ph/8RGAb

I'd recommend you avoid downloading anything unless you understand the potential consequences. Ideally do so in a sandboxed environment.

#76If 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.

#78Seems very dubious, new accounts in the comments urging people to download it ( u/Sonnigeszeug) all the 'sources' go back to the same file, claims it is on torrent trackers yet providing no evidence for? A very sensational article with no proof and if it was true downloading russian government data with no idea whats in it? the sweetest of honey right here
Most people have absolutely no way to handle a 10TB file, anyway. Even 1TB csv files can be a challenge. Need to use DuckDB or chunk it somehow. A lot of ways to hide nasty surprises in such a file, too.
Pack it into a nice executable "csv" and you've got baby's first malware

https://archive.ph/8RGAb here is the other reporting from the website. How high would you rate their faith that they accurately reported in this case?
