WikiLeaks begins publishing 5 million emails from STRATFOR, page 33

wikileaks

Some of the more intriguing antileak work is being done by Uncle Sam. In an unmarked government building on the edge of a residential Arlington, Va. neighborhood, a cybersecurity researcher named Peiter Zatko shows just how easily leaks can occur. He lays out a blow-by-blow history of one insider data theft: The suspect searched broadly over the network to find anything related to critical infrastructure, then returned to manually probe a few interesting files. "Then he walked away with enough information to shut down big chunks of the telephone systems in the United States," Zatko says matter-of-factly.

really interesting its talking about the leaks and how to fix them and if its an IT problem or if it is an employ problem

So part of your task at hand here on ATS is not ultruistic.then...OMG......you mean that you are here monitoring trends for you own personal gains then....your here for business purposes...weeding out what is being said about stratfor and how it might affect your business in the future.....feeling out the responses so that you too can be prepare for the baklash if and when you might possibly get hacked again yourself.
Oh please.....can you jonestly tell me in the world of corporate espianage that you would not use such tactic to further advance your business market....or use information to further the goals of your clients...like reading all these hack emails and seeing if any of them apply to the clientele that your company has established.
I bet your sniffing through the emails yourself like a little rat in a warren trying to eek out any bits of data which might help you to head off say a merger...or a sour business deal that may affect one or several of your clients.
Please do not play the bleeding heart here as it will not wash.....the question is not the ethics behind the emails right now...it is the content....and from what many have read about the internal workings of this company....it should be against the law for them to exist....at the end of the day it is spying.....and no matter what we all know we are more and more spied on everyday is this world....and it really is disgusting.
people spy because theya re paranoid about their own self delusional paranoia ...they are so hung up on their self importance and the fact that they themselves are most likely doing something dirty they need to hire a third party company such as yours to delve into other peoles business.....and if your company just looks at say marketing trends then that is a little diffferent that spying for profits......I mean really where are the ethics when a company is trying to further the greed of a murdurous company such as DOW chemicals.
hope you sleep with a clear conscience.

go to some of the links i have posted...i have chosen not to post the emails here as many of them contaion phone numbers and personal info...so i might put out a short blub then ask the reader to please go read the reast...but here is a linke to the wikileaks area...and off to the left is the emails listed by date.
Stratfor Emails

From: "Reva Bhalla"
To: "Analyst List"
Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2010 5:26:21 PM
Subject: Former Spanish PM Azner

Wow, SeA+-or presidente is hardcore.. Way more extreme than even the
Israeli officials I've heard speak. He honestly believes that all
terrorists are the same and that nothing short of total war can defeat
them. He is adamantly against any kind of negotiation with terrorists
and criticizes France, Germany and others heavily in this regard. He
attributes French and German "weakness" on counterterrorism to their
larger Muslim populations. He said OBL's statement on retaking Andaluz
is all he heard and the Germans and French just didn't get it. He says
poverty has zero connection to terrorism and that developmental aid
policies are useless. On ETA, he said the ceasefires are just time
buying measures, nothing more. In Catalonia he says the regional govt
encourages Muslim immigration from Pakistan, Algeria, etc because they
can more easily linguistically integrate them as opposed to Spanish-
speaking immigrants. This is also where the most radical imams are in
the country. He also said ETA has at least 20 camps in Venezuela and
ggat farc and eta work with each other in training l, weapons, etc.

Overall, he's very ideological and hardline. Good reminder of the
personal role in poltics (though he also paid for that and is
embarassed by his loss)

this is the type of format many seem to take...they are in many cases just thoughts and opinions as one would expect....should read this whole one to get the idea foryourself.....

Source

but from them you can get the basic idea of how this shameful spy company works....they are like greedy sponages looking for that little gold gem they can sell for a profit...but reading through we here at ATS do much the same....and we are better at locating actual good source material.....so why don't they just come look on here for their info....already in the public domain.......lol

So far, I haven't seen anything worth value ... I've gone through a lot of these emails, and all I see are people talking over e-mail, with the same kind of "attitude" as you see here on ATS. Except, they are talking about specific subjects.

And you know what?

Their discussions are too "hypothetical" in nature ... it smells like bad eggs, and I bet you it's all bad eggs. And I'm talking about the company.

perhaps this would be true if it was just a bunch of no name people talking back and forth on a variety of subjects just for the sake of it. BUT they are employees using company email addresses to discuss topics from information they have gathered as a part of an INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE GATHERING company, that has global reach and includes hundreds of clients from around the world.

they spend millions of dollars each year to gather this information and make countless more selling it.

they aren't just sitting there emailing each other about stuff that doesn't exist.

take it in context of where and who it is coming from.

So, to recap: From 2006 to 2008, R. Leslie Deak worked as a "business consultant" to this super-secretive security contractor with ties to the CIA and counterterrorism forces, and in those same three years he also donated nearly $100,000 in seed money to the foundation now advocating the construction of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. Interestingly, during the same three-year period during which the Deak Family Foundation was financing the Cordoba Initiative, Deak also donated a total of $101,247 to something called the National Defense University Foundation. The National Defense University is a network of war and strategy colleges and research centers (including the National War College) funded by the Pentagon, designed to train specialists in military strategy. The organization recently announced a November 5 dinner gala in honor of Defense Secretary and former CIA chief Robert Gates. Sponsors include Northrup Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and...the Patriot Defense Group.

this one about the ground zero mosque is a good read.

Stratfor CEO video on the e-mails leaked...

Some comebacks from the released emails,

Pakistan official's have suggested that the GIfiles where leaked on purpose by CIA to pressure Pakistan over ties w/ Iran & Afghanistan.

english.alarabiya.net...

Reports that Osama bin Laden had been in contact with members of Pakistan’s spy agency, according to secret emails published by Wikileaks, have been rebuffed by a Pakistani military spokesman.

An email, which was sent by an analyst at a global intelligence firm, Stratfor, suggested that up to 12 officials in Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had known of the al-Qaeda leader’s hideout

But spokesman for the army, General Athar Abbas, said the allegations surrounding the ISI were baseless. “They are nonsense and not credible,” he told Al Arabiya in a telephone conversation.

According to one of the e-mails, Stratfor had been shown the information papers collected from bin Laden’s Abbotabad compound after the U.S. special forces attack it last May, which killed the al-Qaeda mastermind, according to the Telegraph.

Hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, someone just told me and I figured it out. I went to the wiki torrent link and thought those were it. Now if only I can get someone to decode the information that I'm reading. I think this above my B [Brain] Grade.
