I've never understood how people can leak stuff anonymously and never be found out. There are plenty of people who leak stuff and are found but how can people just leak stuff and never be found? Even if you did it through Starbucks wifi they'd still know thats where it was done from and be able to check camera footage to narrow it down. Its kinda like how people can go missing without a trace with all the surveillance nowadays, it goes over my head.

    Leak it through Tor. There are even Linux distros designed to root all traffic through Tor and make you completely untraceable.

        Tails is the easiest to set up and use. Whonix is harder to configure but slightly more secure. You only really need either of these if you're doing something highly illegal.

          Do you know if there are distros that'll do the same, except for Freenet or I2P instead of Tor?

      Tor, using public wifi and randomized MAC address

      Done.

      Unless you signed a contract or it's classified information, "leaking" isn't a crime and is protected by free speech. Unless you committed a crime they have no ability to subpoena your isp and this whole tor tails public wifi business is silly.

        Correct, but you can be sued for copyright infringement, which is a civil matter. See recent case where Twitter is actively suing someone who released parts of Twitter's source code onto GitHub.
        Twitter also asked the US District Court in Northern CA to issue a subpoena to Github to released all the information they have on the use. The court complied, MS has until June 3rd to respond.

        >and is protected by free speech.
        Hilariously wrong. You have a fundamentally retarded view of what free speech is, but that's par for the course here.

        >Unless you committed a crime they have no ability to subpoena your isp

        Keep thinking that, dummy.

          NTA but you cannot be tried in criminal court for leaking information or saying anything unless for whatever reason the government decides to throw the increasingly esoteric "threat to national security" umbrella over the thing. Any and all copyright infringement cases as well as damages, libel, slander, or what ever else comes from your words that the courts would reasonably hold you culpable for are tried in civil courts. Therefore, anon is technically correct, just wrong in thinking nothing will happen.

              Free speech only protects you from government or government affiliated liability for what you publicly say. You cannot be tried as a criminal for badmouthing, causing damage to reputation, or otherwise "causing harm" to the city, state, or country. That is literally all that free speech protections entail.

              Free speech protections do not exonerate you from being tried in civil court, particularly for slander, libel, damage to reputation, or otherwise causing "harm" to companies or private citizens.

      Don't think that is ever possible.

      It's probably also possible to deanonymize Tor-users, if they are high-value enough:

      https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2023/01/the-fbi-identified-a-tor-user.html

      It should be assumed that Tor is affected by zerodays.

    You're making the mistake of thinking leaking company information is always a crime. Leaking the latest iphone design would piss off apple yes, but that doesn't suddenly mean Apple has the authority to subpoena other companies for their camera footage and router logs. Large companies don't have the same authority as the police

    Undetectable keyloggers/rootkits have been a thing for a while which is why intel gets bashed so much when it comes to security. These attacks have rarely been caught in the wild precisely because A/Vs can't see them as they do really fancy things like hang out in the L3 cache of a CPU. A skilled hacker doesn't even have to be someone from the inside, they can literally botnet computers to leak source code automatically.

    It's possible to do this on AMD computers as well but intel computers having exponentially more CVEs makes it more appealing.

    Most leaks are organized PR campaigns, people get excited when you say it's a leak so it's shared widely and gets lots of attention. It's effectively a free advertising campaign.

    Cybercrime is one of the types of crime with the lowest clearance rates actually. It's true that it's not the 90s anymore, and there's alot of ~~*international cooperation*~~ in this area, but the idea that you're as likely to be caught for leaking something as for unplanned murder of someone you know is ridiculous.

    Shit gets leaked all the time. Windows XP was out before the official release date (even a pic floating around showing it). Just the successful ones don't fucking brag about doing it. Hell with how public internet is now anyone can leak or upload damn near anything and long as you don't fucking brag about it who's to know it came from you? I mean you do have a phone don't you? What is a phone these days? A mini computer for all intents. Well there you go.
