Cryptome
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Cryptome is a controversial website, hosted in the
United States by its owner John Young, that functions as a repository for information that is prohibited or suppressed by various governments.
It also contains obscure documents relating to freedom of speech, cryptography, surveillance, and so on.
Although many of the files available are of little importance, Cryptome has caused a stir in the past with items such as:
- The MI6 files - a list of MI6 agents.
- The Eyeball series - a series of detailed maps for sensitive government facilities.
- Pictures of dead U.S. soldiers from the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Cryptome has attracted the attentions of government agencies; for example, John Young has received a visit from
FBI counter-terrorist agents
[1] and a vague threat from a different FBI agent.
