Found this on hacker news, some people there say this data dump is total bs and for the news page itself: It’s an article from an Indian right wing conspiracy news website. Check out their other hard hitting journalism: https://archive.ph/8RGAb"
The screenshot of files looks like an troll. I can’t believe nobody is pointing this out.
I mean really. Who even names folders like that.
I give Anonymous credit on one thing: they’re always punching upwards.
There’s a twitter thread. An account named ‘Anonymous France’ has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that’s its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.
How is this obvious AI slop getting upvoted so much?
After the Panama Papers and similar leaks, people are ready to believe some kind of anonymous hacker collective is still out there investigating and releasing information. So they’ll jump on the headline, because it resonates with their memories of historical incidents. They won’t interrogate it, because they’re not in the position to sift fact from fiction.
This is one of the problems with Upvote-based news aggregators to begin with. You’re asking people to make evaluations of an article’s interest at the headline level, rather than relying on editors and ombudsmen to sift out what information is both credible and interesting to a wide audience.
And nothing happened.
Where can I find these files? Not doing x
Fake as hell, from an immensely disreputable site. What in the hell is this still doing here?
Day late and dollar short. That info serves no purpose in today’s environment
This is going to be another Panama files isn’t it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.
Can people just stop spreading this demoralizing nonsense? Maybe it’s not instant-world-changing, but it’s definitely not “fuck all” either.
From your links:
Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.
Original indictment:
These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Make it make sense
“Not world changing” is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.
Yeah can’t make sense of your last comment, or maybe you misunderstood something?
I’m saying the impact of Panama paper surely wasn’t instant-world-changing that you might wish for, the world simply doesn’t work that way. Researches, investigations, lawsuits, trails, laws and legislation tooks years or even decades to conclude.
Joking about nothing has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.

After FTX imploded, Sam Bankman Fried was indicted within weeks and in prison within months. The Enron investigation and indictments came down four years after the company officially filed bankruptcy in December of 2001.
To claim prosecutions under the Panama Papers (or the Trump indictments or the Sackler oxycotin scandal or the Epstein case dismissal or the SEC investigations into Tesla or any number of other endlessly delayed prosecutions) required decades to wrap up only illustrates a deliberate attempt by domestic governments to slow roll and bury investigations that prosecutors had no personal interest in pursuing.

Ramón Fonseca Mora, the central figure behind Mossack Fonseca, was let out on bail a few months after his arrest and remained unconvicted until his death. How is that not a joke to you?
Because that’s not what I said at all?
Of course there are far too many frustrating cases than we wish for but still
“Joking about NOTHING has been done after Panama paper every time everywhere the topic came up over and over and over again is tiring and insulting to the hard working people around the world fighting against corruptions and billionaires FOR YOU every day every night.”
Maybe instead of whining about Panama paper doesn’t do as much as one can fantasies, read the report I linked again, focus on what has been done, and pay some respect to the people fighting for you this time?

The man running the law firm that managed the fraud never saw a trial, much less a conviction.
Your article of "Um, actually!"s doesn’t change that.
Technically only half true. They know, but they’re not doing fuck all about it, they’re murdering the journalists that expose the rampant corruption.
Its fake
I mean world governments are run by and for billionaires. People gotta pitchfork if they want something done about it.
Everybody already knew Russia was hot assfire.
I’m certain some people will go to jail.
You can’t just release information about politicians and billionaires and not go to jail.
I see what you did there… 😂
well, cars might explode.
Windows will be turned into exits
Just switch to Linux already!
I am so fucking tired…
I mean, that’s sort of a gimmie with swasticars.
Cars that aren’t suicidal with a desire to take others with them.
I think they were able to recoup a few billion in taxes or something, but like, no arrests or anything. I think one person got killed exposing it too.

4chan should go down more often lol
To clarify:
Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this … derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s…
They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.
4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed… and then they started their own community ‘Soyjack Party’.
Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.
Like… I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts… well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.
I can’t prove this, because … two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for … less than 24hrs… but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.
For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.
My joke was implying that they had nothing better to do than infiltrate confidential Russian servers since 4chan was down. Lol
Whelp, thats a whoosh moment for me than lol.
But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P
Happens to the best of us lol
Where is the full leak? 18GB is nothing compared to 10TB
I’m not sure. I’ve been wondering the same thing.
This, a thousand times! I’ve been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven’t found one yet
Does anyone have 10TB space to even download all of it? My all drives combined wouldn’t get me there.
Data hoarders defunitely would. Trust me, I’ve got one 14TB HDD just for movies, another 8TB that I now use mostly just for backups, and that gets me probably on the lowest steps of the ladder of people who regularly collect data.
Also easy to use some Debrid service that would download and store it on the cloud, where you could inspect the files without it all cramming up your local disk space.
I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?
Their “vulnerabilities” are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)
So it seems. The Russian business receipts may be more useful, but I’m not really sure how this data can be used.
Wait what does 4chan have to do with this?
Just that it got down and all its data (emails, users, passwords) got leaked.
I guess they implied 4chan users, without 4chan, decided to pass the time by hacking Russia
What a hero
Anonymous are the heroes. Thanks for posting the article!
What *an hero.
Probably too old a reference for most lol
It’s an older meme, but it checks out
An earo
An gyro
A Nero
only if you’re scottish
Us Scots can say our aitches - always annoys me to hear “an hospital” on the BBC.
Faaking Laanduners - that’s who’ll be saying “an hero”.
“An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.
Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.
It’s funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn’t come across as a “child” as they were older then me at the time.
Dark humor be like that though.
they were older then me at the time.
The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).
Yep, I was 12-13 when I discovered b

Dilmah!?
pls no…
There are going to be a lot of upset, worried, wealthy people in London today.
Good
Wonder what’s in the trump folder
It may be trump in it but it says krasnov on it.
Krasnov of Mar-a-Lago
Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all
thats all under “Leaked Data of Donald Trump”
That’s a lot of index files
There is nothing under the trump folder except 2 pics of possible vulnerabilities from a CMD prompt. Maybe some stuff in other data, but the trump folder is bust
Did you check under Krasnov?
Not yet, will when I get home
It’s not a pee tape they have on Kasnov, it’s a tape if him getting pegged.
Is Agent Krasnov on the list?
Trump had a folder on the picture of folders.
I don’t know any more than that.
Someone please look into the Trump folder and tell us what is there
Need to look under “K”
Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all
thats all under “Leaked Data of Donald Trump”
Nuclei output or something?
Looks like nikto
Don’t know, just saw the screenshots of text, looked like CMD. Maybe other folders have stuff, I haven’t had time to look yet
thats all under “Leaked Data of Donald Trump”
Lmao, it’s a bunch of nikto outputs. this entire file isn’t really a hack.
Klaatu barada nikto
necktie*
This isn’t the full 10tb, only the 18gb file
CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities
Is Trump a robot or something? What does this even mean?
Someone ran a command in the terminal, screenshot the results, and put them there
thats all under “Leaked Data of Donald Trump”
That’s just the output of a nikto scan run on a web server (https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/services/nikto)
It says there are some index files, but you say they’re missing. Did you see the alleged 10TB dump or just the 18GB Mediafire one? If there are index files, there are probably more files.
Only the 18gb file so far. Only had 7tb of space free on my nas :( right now
