There are things you hope never happen to your business, some you even discuss and prepare against. And then it happens just like you planned: a rogue employee for the US government slips a little known website confidential material and suddenly, all heck breaks loose.

There are things you hope never happen to your business, some you even discuss and prepare against. And then it happens just like you planned: a rogue employee for the US government slips a little known website confidential material and suddenly, all heck breaks loose.

This example seems like a Hollywood sci-fi show, yet the effects and impact are played out in reality and cost innocent bystanders money.  What started with Julian Assange posting a few things have spiraled towards a digital Armageddon.  First was a smear campaign against Assange; true or not, things were leaked to damage his reputation. Then, those hosting WikiLeaks were pressured. It worked, and like a good fighter, he took the punch, regrouped, and counter-punched.  We know the story, it has been the same through time. All of a sudden he is seen as an underdog, and the following starts. He becomes the flag-bearer for those oppressed and in the shadows, who then rise up to support their black knight. And all of a sudden, businesses involved in some way are attacked.

So buy your “Go WikiLeaks Go!” tshirt (you knew someone had to make a t-shirt), grab your popcorn, and get ready for the show – this one is just starting up.  And I have a strange feeling Assange might be saving his best for last.

For those of you playing the home version…click here for a link to the Google news thread on WikiLeaks.

While you are at it, you might have a discussion about what would happen if your website is attacked.
