This claim is false. These emails have little to do with "Turkey's political structure." Mostly mailing lists+spam.pic.twitter.com/F7905JUg6z

Wikileaks does not even do a cursory check for malware in documents it dumps. This is a threat to dissident journalists who use Wikileaks.+

In general, if you're a journalist or activist anywhere, you probably should get a dedicated Chromebook & access Wikileaks docs only there.

Malware is often used to compromise dissidents. Dedicated Chromebook is a good idea—not just to protect against Wikileaks' irresponsibility.

Malware & attachments issue is huge in general—for journos & activists— esp. since everyday tools like MS Office are a security nightmare.

If Google is your concern, create a "to read attachments only" Google identity. Chromebooks are cheap; get one. https://twitter.com/can/status/765229709072343041 …

Is there a "how to read attachments securely" guideline esp. for activists and journalists? "Don't read them" is no answer.
