This new batch also seems to have nothing on "Turkey's political power structure." Claim not upheld.pic.twitter.com/Igx1HpouPb

As far as I can tell, more mailing lists (with mundane news articles); spam; overwhelmingly ordinary people, mundane emails.

This batch also contains personal info of ordinary people as they email inquiring for jobs, share travel plans. etc. *sigh*

I know; I've read your original analysis when part 1 was released. Bad, I agree. But I'm an AV guy; my area of expertise is malware.

Danger here is journalists being taken in by the misrepresentation—thinking these are AKP emails—and downloading malware.

Yep. Subject line: "President's Swiss bank account". Juicy looking attachment. Will snare so many dissident journalists.
