Yeah i will believe it when wikileaks puts the emails on their site. 33,000 emails on the eve of the election sounds like a setup. First getting thouse emails is impossible now so it would mean someone sat on them? Why release them now? If wikileaks vets the emails the presidential election will be over and WW3 will have been started by the time we get them because they have to make sure they are accurate and not fakes.
Sorry but i dont trust anon as it could be anyone and is most likely counter intelligence fakes.
0day is what they call a vulnerability that is brand new.
If i was wikileaks i would open that file in computer without a nic and in a virtualized os with a kill switch on the harddrive.
This gets interesting. This is the story as I currently understand it.
Everyone has been concentrating on the contents of the wikileaks data. Somebody decided to look more closely at the addresses in use, which lead to identifying a handful of additional servers that were being run by the Clintons but hadn't been previously disclosed.
These servers were then targeted. The claim is that a backup of the emails was found on one of them.
Identifying these servers only came about from the wikileaks release, which is why it has only happened now.
It was always assumed that a backup existed somewhere, simply because that might represent a lot of information too important to lose.
This could all be trolling and lulz, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Interesting rumor.

One thing is for certain...multiple email addresses were used by top Clinton members...as far as servers...my guess is it was different domains on the same server...easier to clean up.
If I recall the comment that had been posted, they were on a server hosting a ridiculous amount of other sites, so it's possible that the secondary domains all exist in a datacentre somewhere with only the main Clinton account on the server in her bathroom.
The Clinton IT guy doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the box, poor security on a shared server running software with known (and possibly unpatched) vulns wouldn't surprise me.

I hope we don't have to wait for the STATE DEPARTMENT to release those e-mails to the public. That won't be until hell freezes over.. and even then, most of the words will be blacked-out.

Wiki is trying to gain a regular following and show it has impact before releasing the Hillary damning emails at this point...they want to make sure they have everyone's attention before those come out.

I want to believe that but.. it feels like there's such a glut now of emails anything significant will be lost in monumental amount of reading someone must do to discover anything.
What needed to happen, was Wikileaks needed to release half a dozen very specific emails that damage her credibility before the dump.
