Ok so here is a question that I'm sure will get some handy answers for but let's say that someone I know had some sensitive information (for example : shot list to a corrupt documentary, blueprints for a machine or government built structure, emails sent to or from politicians.. that TPTB would NOT want to have released to the general public for obvious reasons..

What are the best ways to leak this information onto the internet without it being traced back to that person? Can it be done easily by someone that isn't a pro hacker etc?

Hopefully there are some ways to do this kind of thing as it's a really interesting thought that I had the other day and have always wondered about.

p.s. I figure this belongs in the media area of topics but if I got that wrong please re-locate to where seems fit. There may be similar topics such as this out there but I figure that this is dealing with more specific forms of media and am hoping to get responses that are tailored towards the specified examples of media that one may some day come across and want to leak.

I'd have to say, in all honesty, the way Mr. Breivick did was quite effective.

Get a massive group of online friends, or a mailing list, and release it to everyone at once.

By the time the clean up crews come, it's already out on the web and downloaded and re-uploaded by those who got it.

I can't believe Anonymous is the clean up crew this round.

Saying it will be funny to change parts and re-upload insisting that it's an unedited copy, just to bury the ones that made it out.

you go to kinkos, wear glasses a fake beard hat etc, create a fake email and fake registry to face book or whatever, and then post the material. Make sure you do this in a state that is not yours and use a bus to get to kinkos. Of course do this using kinkos computers. Enjoy

You know the government watches this site so they already have tracked you down to your location and I assume you'll be under constant surveillance now since you posted this. Expect to have your house bugged and searched and every aspect of your life scrutinized and count yourself lucky if they don't arrest you as a terrorist under the Patriot Act.

Sorry bud

cheers guys and yeah i doubt anyone from the gov would bother exhausting resources on someone that's just curious to how these big Anonymous-like groups operate but u never know i just figured not all of them would be hackers that do that kinda thing.

Never heard of kinkos but i guess it's an American web cafe chain right?...

do u think anti gov groups keep costumes for using places like that?

Categorically deny its existence on ATS. Then a group of people will do all they can to prove you wrong. Leak the information to them, by way of a denial. Viral in ten minutes, and the support of the usual "Well I believe the official, government story" types...That will generate even more interest, and you're off and running.

1) get a memory stick/cd and load the data. Do this thrice.
2)load a virus designed to transfer the data to a specific site once the stick is plugged in
3)Leave the sticks/CDs outside of an office building in plain view. If possible put a 'secret' sticker on the medium.
4)Monitor the upload site and watch as human curiosity does your work for you.

That's how I'd roll if I did such things.

Hand deliver it to Alex Jones and if he can make money on it, it will happen.

What ever happened to just going to YouTube?
Its easier to find info if ya dig, you just gotta have patience and go where the web takes you......

Post it on 4chan with some excellent butchery of the english language so that it becomes a meme.

Encode it in various websites, and pretend it's an ARG.

--- Oh, best, not most fun.
