Wikileaks previously announced that it would be releasing more damaging documents about Hillary Clinton, which would have meant yet another scandal for the presidential hopeful to contend with. Fortunately for her, Julian Assange failed to deliver substantial information. In an attempt to save the event, a self-proclaimed hacker named Guccifer 2.0 supposedly released damning documents from the Clinton Foundation. As it turns out, his claim also failed to live up to expectations.
As part of the site’s 10-year anniversary, Wikileaks was expected to release some new data pertaining to Clinton’s questionable activities today, Ars Technica reports. However, what people got was no different than what the site had leaked before. The previous bomb had certainly hurt the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party’s reputation, but voters were rabid for something fresh and juicy.
Then there’s the information that Guccifer 2.0 supposedly acquired from the Clinton Foundation’s servers, which do seem insidious at first glance. However, it was quickly determined that many of the information released are nothing new and some were even outright fabricated.
What’s more, the president of the foundation, Donna Shalala denied that they suffered any server breach. With these two angles combined, it seems the hacker’s claims just became a lot less credible. As The Daily Beast noted, however, the claims don’t even need to be all that trustworthy.
The campaign has long since entered the phase of disinformation, where hackers are littering the internet with all kinds of official-looking documents that very few people have the capability to confirm or disprove. This makes users susceptible to believe things that are not necessarily true or even relevant to the discussion of who should be the next POTUS.
Then again, the possibility that the Clinton Foundation was breached without raising its custodians’ suspicions does exist. Back in June, Bloomberg released a report that the institution had been hacked by Russia. At the time, the foundation stated that they weren’t aware of any data breaches and declined to comment further.
