[LINK] Meet the the most dangerous man in cyberspace: the American face of Wikileaks

[Rick Welykochy]

Linkers,

This article in Rolling Stone is fascinating.

<http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/17389/238944>

   "Appelbaum is the only known American member of Wikileaks and the leading
    evangelist for the software program that helped make the leak possible.
    In a sense, he's a bizarro version of Mark Zuckerberg: If Facebook's ambition
    is to "make the world more open and connected," Appelbaum has dedicated his
    life to fighting for anonymity and privacy

    ...

    He beckons me over to one of his eight computers and presses several keys,
    activating Blockfinder. In less than 30 seconds, the program lists all of
    the Internet Protocol address allocations in the world — potentially giving
    him access to every computer connected to the Internet."


cheers
