Operation Leakspin

Operation: Leakspin was conceived by Anonymous, with the purpose of sorting through recent WikiLeaks releases to identify and raise awareness of potentially important and previously overlooked cables.


When the Dutch police arrested a 16-year-old for personally creating a substantial botnet and independently conducting a DDoS attack on websites such as Mastercard.com and Visa.com, a subset of those present and involved at the time decided to move towards more long-term-viable goals such as promoting dialogue and spreading the reach of the WikiLeaks cables.
The name is a pun on the "Leekspin" joke animation.


As with all actions by Anonymous, it has arisen in an ad-hoc fashion and holds neither a centralized leadership nor an enforceable command structure.
Due to the decentralized nature of the project, several independent websites are participating in the effort. It is not clear how much co-ordination, if any, exists between these sites. A list follows:
Cable Wiki: Meant to serve as a wiki for the translation of cables to multiple languages, together with additional analysis of the cables
Sinde Gate: local group providing translations and explanations of cables related to the scandal "Wikileaks cables reveal that the US wrote Spain's proposed copyright law". "Sinde Gate" is named after the name of the responsible Spanish minister.
Operation Leakspin Quality Control: a forum for quality control on the translation/analysis of the cables.
Operation Leakspin Blog: a blog informing about the operation Leakspin.
Operation AnonPress: An operation dedicated to pushing the US Embassy Cables further into the public domain.
