If it needs to be said for the 500th time... If you have damning information on something: - Have multiple copies of the data - Don't talk about the data until its released - Don't say when you're going to release it, just do it - When you do release it, push it to as many people and groups as possible to prevent people from stopping its spread How many people have to get silenced or suicided until they realize this? We aren't playing against an 'honorable' enemy, any and all means justify their ends, including playing dirty and killing you. Have tactics and strategies that both protect you from that, and give your data the highest chance of reaching people.
