[Noisebridge-discuss] Should NB mirror WikiLeaks?

[mfburdett at gmail.com]

option F, write a worm, for demonstration purposes only, of course,
that creates a WikiLeaks mirror on any filesystem it encounters with
enough available space.

<blockquote>
One option, according to cyber expert Herbert Lin, would be to design
and deploy a computer worm that could burrow into a computer hard
drive and look specifically for WikiLeaks files, as the recent Sutxnet
worm did with respect to industrial control files.

Hackers who are not accountable for their actions might try something
like that. But it could be highly controversial as a government move.

"Does the U.S. government have the right to go into your computer and
erase material that you obtained legally?" asks Lin. "That's a very,
very deep question."
