    Okay now that's kind of funny. I think most of us were pretty sure they were full of shit, but that's a fun way to fuck with researchers trying to grab the leaks.

    Further research resulted in the team finding a simple but effective trick behind the group’s “leaks.” They noted that “the group’s servers are likely piping a stream of /dev/random straight into the user’s browser.” Basically, they are sending useless digital “noise” to a user’s computer to make it look like a massive, 20GB encrypted file is being downloaded.
