4,000 Deep Web Links by Nikoloz Kokhreidze.
This listing was generated in early June, 2015, so it doesn’t include the most recent AshleyMadison data dump.
Apparently an authentic (according to some commentators) data dump from AshleyMadison was posted yesterday but I haven’t been able to find a report with an address for the dump.
One commentator, with a major technical site, sniffed that the dump was news but:
I’m not really interested in actively outing anyone’s private information
What a twit!
Why should I take even the New York Times’ word for the contents of the dump when the data should be searchable by anyone?
It maybe that N number of email addresses end in .mil but how many end in nyimes.com? Unlikely to see that reported in the New York Times. Yes?
Summarizing data and attempting to persuade me your summary is both useful and accurate is great. Saves me the time and trouble of wrangling the data.
However, the raw data that you have summarized should be available for verification by others. That applies to data held by Wikileaks, the New York Times or any government.
The history of government and corporate leaks has one overriding lesson: Deception is universal.
Suggested motto for data geeks:
In God We Trust, All Others Must Provide Raw Data.
