Why would stuff for the intelligence community be made public? Wouldn’t it make more sense for them to keep it private?

They already mentioned info control. Also visitor and flow data prob juicier than the archives themselves for site like .today.

Oh, and a great injection point of malware, which can be more sophisticated and selective than the DDoS under discussion. Hard to come up with a more efficient browser-0day deployment pipeline if youre flying under radar and want to be able to target arbitrary individuals.

Ours was a private archive of public content. There was a long discussion of the intelligence that could be gathered or information manipulated if it was public
