Probably something damning/valuable/devastating.
Probably so that whoever this is has something of value to further prove authenticity and to hold as leverage against retaliation (hence the OP words you quoted).
- pc86 11y agoBut what's the alternative? They either release everything eventually, and the leverage is lost, or they don't, and damning/valuable/devastating information about corruption or whatever else is there does the public zero good, or it's somehow destroyed and we get the worst of both. Dribbling the data out slowly is the best move from a PR standpoint but dangerous if you hold on to the worst of the worst info.
- granos 11y agoThey are trying to extort money. They are always trying to extort money. Look at all these nasty things I released about you. I wonder what else is in this large trove of files that I can slowly leak over a few years to keep you in the news. Maybe if somebody sent me some money....
- Phlarp 11y agoDo you have any proof that the person releasing this is seeking extortion money? Cthulusec hasn't previously made a habit of selling wolf tickets. Is this just baseless speculation on your part? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
- LordKano 11y agoThis is certainly a possibility but not the only one. They could be trying to force changes in policy/behavior.
