If that is assassination-insurance should those bytestrings be keys to decrypt files that are already in the wild? Anyhow, I find the tweets very interesting.

Anyhow, I find the tweets very interesting. But I lack the context to know what they mean. Were those tweeted before the blackout? After?
The UK FOC thing is particularly interesting. This might sound silly, but perhaps somebody at MI5 was not happy the possibility of Foreign Office correspondence being leaked and decided to something, anything, to stop it from happening.
- saint_fiasco 10y agoThey were tweeted just before announcing the blackout. My guess is that when the blackout happened they tweeted the pre-comitment as soon as they could just in case. They are not the keys because nothing that terrible happened yet. All they say is that they have files on those topics, and if someone in the future releases keys to some files, and those decrypted files' signature is as it says on the tweet, then they must come from Wikileaks, since they posted that signature.
