Distributed Denial o Secrets: a new competitor for WikiLeaks

The cyberactivism has a new anonymous face

According to Salvador Ruiz, network
security
specialist from the International Institute of Cyber Security,
Distributed Denial of Secrets
(DDOS) is a transparency collective whose main goal is to enable the free
transmission of public interest data. DDOS aims to avoid any political, corporate
or personal leanings, and simply act as a beacon of available information. As a
collective, DDOS do not support any cause, idea or message beyond ensuring that
information will be available to those who need it most – the people.

The grouo recently announced the release of a massive email leaking belonging to Russian oligarchs, journalists, religious leaders and politicians.

While DDOS team is happy to serve as an index to data of all varieties, mostly follow this two criteria:

  • Is
    the data of public interest?
  • Can
    a prima facie case be made for the veracity of the contents?

Unless already public, or as authorized by its
source, DDOS do not disclose the providing party of any received information,
and it’s fully committed to ensuring their anonymity from all threats. DDOS could
never advise on the perfect procedure for transferring data to its platform
anyone else, but it can act as a shield for that process and share advice from
its experience. Often its role is to not just make data available, but to act
as an anonymity guard to pass data to journalists and other figures best
positioned to interrogate it.

The Collective

DDOS is a small group, but its reach expands
far beyond just the members, not all of who are listed or ever acknowledged by
their own preference. DDOS have informally worked together for many years and
have developed deep connections in the field of data gathering, research,
journalism, activism and technology. In 2018, DDOS members decided to put
together their expertise and time to create a unified project representing
their shared goals, and provide a platform for others to know and trust.

The modern state of “leaking” organizations has
deteriorated rapidly for many years, poisoned by their own egos and interests. The
DDOS view is that data is a resource and a record – this data can never tell
the whole story. DDOS trusts the public to be responsible with data, and open
it to them for the rigorous examination of it. In time, the truth can always
emerge.

The Team

Emma Best – @NatSecGeek

Emma is an independent journalist who has spent
more years filling out FOIA’s than most people have spent reading the news.
Known for her tenacity in always finding the next lead and penetrating the
bureaucratic walls of government, she has a keen eye for the details in every
document and is a ruthless advocate for the truth even when all others dare not
dig deeper.

“The Architect”

This is the pseudonym for DDOS’s technical behemoth that prefers to remain anonymous. He is no stranger to controversy and has been involved in privacy and technology activism for at least 10 years. The Architect is primarily responsible for advising on the operational security of the collective and maintains web and technical operations for the group.

WANTED

DDOS is always looking to expand its available
data sets. They can consider almost any data, but they are actively seeking out
the below information. If you can help them locate it, it would be greatly
appreciated!
