Wikileaks' Assange has "internet cut by state actor";Could trigger Dead Man's Switch
Quote:
PARIS (AP) — WikiLeaks says that founder Julian Assange's internet access has been cut by an unidentified state actor. Few other details were immediately available.
Assange has been up holed up at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for more than four years after skipping bail to avoid being extradited over sex crimes allegations.
The cramped quarters haven't prevented the Australian transparency activist from working and WikiLeaks continues to deliver scoops, including revelations that have rattled Hillary Clinton's campaign for president as the U.S. election enters its final stretch.
Calls, texts and emails left with WikiLeaks weren't immediately returned Monday. A woman who picked up the phone at the embassy said: "I cannot disclose any information." An email to Ecuador's ambassador wasn't immediately answered. London's Metropolitan Police declined comment.

For those of you that don't understand, a Dead Man's Switch is basically something that goes off if someone has died. Assuming with Assange it is a huge data dump that is supposed to incriminate the world's leaders.
I think this is newsworthy but a bunch of people are working themselves up over nothing I suspect. |
