Link to the '.csv' or I don't believe it happened.

Given the unusually high amount of attention being paid to Wikileaks and the interests that powers have in spreading rumors that the leaking platform is unsafe, not believing it until the actual database has been located is a reasonable position.

Despite many efforts by Wikileaks supporters on the Wikileaks IRC, nobody has managed to locate this file. So if somebody could link to it, you will be doing a massive favor.

"WikiLeaks responded to the leak on Twitter on Monday by writing: “There has been no ‘leak at WikiLeaks’. The issue relates to a mainstream media partner and a malicious individual.”" - From the ArsTechnica article


It is 48 hours later, but it turns out the Guardian have indeed leaked the password. I would hand a link, but Wikileaks are going to dump EVERYTHING in the next day, so it's best to go with the source.


Here is the same report from a different angle:

Here is a German article from 'Der Speigel' through google translate about the original report of the leak:

Seconding the call for a link to the file, I'd like to see this.
