A law firm working for Bank of America: Planing to attack Wikileaks

In a document titled The WikiLeaks warning three data intelligence companies, Plantir Technologies, HBGary Federal & Berico Technologies, sketch a plan to attack Wikileaks.

They are acting upon request from Hunton & Williams, a law firm working for Bank of America. The section of Justice suggested the law firm to Bank of America according to an article in The Tech Herald. The posed attacks on WikiLeaks according to the slides include these actions:



Feed the fuel between the feuding groups. Disinformation. Create messages around actions of sabotage or discredit the opposing organizations. Submit fake documents & then call out the error.

Create concern over the security of the infrastructure. Create exposure stories. If the process is believed not to be secure they are done.

Cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on document submitters. This would kill the project. Since the servers are now in Sweden & France putting a team together to get access is more straightforward.

Media fight to push the radial & reckless nature of WikiLeaks activities. continue pressure. Does nothing for the fanatics, but creates fear & doubt among moderates. Search for leaks. Use social media to profile & identify risky behavior of employees.

Financial Problems May Possibly Shut-Down

WikiLeaks said it will shut-down by year end if financial services companies don't lift restrictions on donations that have hobbled the organization.

The website which publishes leaked, sensitive documents said it is temporarily suspending all publishing operations so that it can devote its resources to battling Visa Inc., MasterCard Inc., eBay Inc.'s PayPal, Bank of America Corp. & other companies that have prohibited payments to the site since last December.

The last major WikiLeaks release, hundreds of thousands of U.S. government documents about Guantanamo Bay detainees, was in April.

"This financial blockade is an existential threat to WikiLeaks," Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks, said in London on Monday. "If the blockade is not torn down by the end of the year, the organization cannot continue its work." He said the payment companies had bowed to political pressure from Washington & have prevented WikiLeaks financial contributors from supporting the cause of their choice.

Days after WikiLeaks began releasing a slew of confidential U.S. State Department cables last November, companies including PayPal, MasterCard & Visa prohibited users from making donations to the site. Those limits have stayed in place ever since, putting a damper on WikiLeaks' fund raising efforts.
