None of the people who contacted us realised that the "Wikileaks press release" published on wikileaks.info was not
written by Wikileaks and not issued by Wikileaks - but by the person running the wikileaks.info site only - the very
site we are warning about. The site data, disks, connections and visitor traffic, are all under the control of the
Heihachi cybercrime gang. There are more than 40 criminal-run sites operating on the same IP address as wikileaks.info,
including carder-elite.biz, h4ck3rz.biz, elite-crew.net, and bank phishes paypal-securitycenter.com and
postbank-kontodirekt.com.
The drama never ends.
The way wikileaks mirrors work is that volunteers provide server space and access credentials, while wikileaks staff upload the content. The problem arises if that content is not digitally signed, or at least authenticated with a set of hashes (the webmasters may inject malware, or otherwise modify the content).
Still, until we see an official note on wikileaks.ch (or personal message from Assange) that wikileaks.info is a fraudulent impersonation, we should consider the content on the .info site in an official fashion.
