Wikileaks Appears To Have Just Released Its First “Insurance” File, Fully Open And Unencrypted

Editor’s Note: Earlier today, it was reported that those close to Assange, including staffers Kristinn Hrafnsson and Sarah Harrison, have gone silent while the Ecuadorian embassy is refusing to provide any updates on Assange’s fate.

While it is unclear if it was done on purpose or by mistake, moments ago a folder within the Wikileaks server has opened at the address https://file.wikileaks.org/file/ which provides a glimpse into thousands of doc, pdf, wav, jpg and various other files, as well as dozens of subdirectories including Videos, Syria-files, Collateral Murder, Japan Bribery Affair, and many others.

It is unclear what the basis of this disclosure is, although some are speculating that it may be the release of one of Wikileaks’ so-called insurance files, which in light of today’s speculation about the fate of Assange, may indicate that things are about to get to a climax vis-a-visthe trove of information in Wikileaks’ possession.
