What you're looking at here is the first official still released from the Wikileaks movie, TheFifth Estate, with Sherlock himself portraying the embassy camper. There's quite the resemblance to a younger Assange here. He certainly looks creepy enough. Read More >>
Members of the Anonymous hacking team and Wikileaks have taken to slagging each other off on Twitter, with the hackers angry that part of Wikileaks' content is now hidden behind a semi-restrictive software paywall. Read More >>

The Swedish web host PeRiQuito AB, PRQ, is one of the most controversial web hosts on the planet, valuing free speech so highly that it serves up web content for Pirate Bay, WikiLeaks and even sites like Pedophile.se. Yesterday, though, Swedish police paid a visit. Read More >>

While we tend to think of Julian Assange as an annoying sex pest who likes the sound of his own voice a little too much, the US has taken things to a whole new level by declaring him an Enemy of the State. Read More >>

This is a trailer for Underground: The Julian Assange Story. And yes, it is serious. Australian TV station Network Ten is behind it, promising to capture and wildly exaggerate the thrills of the creation of the Wikileaks empire and the rise of little Julian to world fame. Read More >>

Looks like Julian Assange has a few friends in the Anonymous collective. OpFreeAssange is in full swing after yesterday's pleas from the Ecuadorian embassy, with attacks on the Justice Department, the Home Office, and the Department of Work and Pensions -- that well known persecutor of whistle blowers.

It looks like Julian Assange will be keeping the couch warm in the Embassy for a fair bit longer as he has now been granted political asylum by the Ecuadorian government, making his stand-off extended for an undetermined amount of time.

Wikileaks, the Internet's top platform for exposing secrets of all varieties, is reporting that it's been under serious attack for the better part of a week. This extended DDoS is still coming in strong, and has brought the site to its knees. Read More >>
War is, you might think, unpredictable, especially when it comes to insurgent attacks carried out by loosely-organised factions. But while strikes might appear to come from nowhere, researchers have now shown that crunching through WikiLeaks data can predict where attacks will happen. Read More >>
Woah, woah, I know what you're thinking. I can't believe it either. Anonymous? Good? Well, it turns out our favourite infamous hacktivist group is claiming responsibility for an attack on the computer systems of the Syrian government, which then lead to over two million emails ending up in the digital inboxes of WikiLeaks. Nice. Read More >>
Those who thought that Wikileaks was dead and buried with Assange on the run, think again. The whistle-blower site has just dumped over 2.4 million documents from the Syrian government online for your perusal, in a new custom database built to handle the sheer volume of leaked data -- its biggest to date.
