Cryptome is a repository for information about freedom of speech, spying, cryptography, and surveillance. Site’s Internet service provider, Earthlink, asked Cryptome if it wanted to involve the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hackers broke into and defaced whistleblowing site Cryptome late last week. Founder John Young says someone else attacked the site and that the attack was motivated as payback for sensitive documents the site has posted recently, he says. Cryptome frequently posts warnings of its untrustworthiness due to it being an online outlet in the vast spying apparatus, the Internet.”]
