Maybe you haven’t noticed, but mainstream media is now strong armed by the Trump administration and are afraid to do anything he doesn’t like.
Example: AOC and Bernie Sanders are getting massive crowds to their current political tour. It barely, if ever gets mentioned by any mainstream media. Trump wouldn’t like that, so they won’t cover it.
What if it’s 10Tb of grocery lists, doodles, bad poetry, unassigned phone numbers, kids’ homework assignments… Is that actually news or just even more un-collated data?
Usually when someone wants coverage of news like this (say a very large report) they write a 2 page bullet point summary that gets distributed separately to the media.
Journalists can then draft a story without wading through the entire report depending on what they want to highlight.
Dump 10TB of data without any specific highlights? What are they supposed to do, spend weeks trawling through it on the off chance there’s something interesting that makes it worthwhile?
It’s also all Russian data. Not sure where the OP is, but I don’t know why I should really care all that much about it. If there’s anything in there, someone will report on it. Until then, it seems like a bit of a non-story for non-Russians.
10tb is a lot of data. I don’t even have my 12tb media server half full. It’s going to take a while for someone to go through the data and see if anything is worthwhile. Could be a bunch of nothing or a whole lot of something.
I tried clicking on some articles in some subs talking about it this morning and somehow they all didnt work. Either it was all BA or they really dont want that stuff out there. Maybe im wrong.
Why do you think that people can not only go through 10 TB of data and understand it, but also verify that this isn’t just complete horseshit that some rando made up wholecloth?
Reminds me of that scene in “The Untouchables” where Elliot Ness gets the juries switched by telling the Judge that his name was in the bribery ledger.
In the off chance that the information has anything relevant or incriminating, ask yourself this.
Why would the media who helped get Trump elected by sanewashing literal fascist rhetoric right out of his own mouth and is currently supporting the violent gang member rhetoric about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, report on Data that hurts Trump?
The media is either complicit in the rise of fascism or it’s dismantled and replaced by media that is.
Because they are not newsworthy. It includes information hacked years ago that journalists and researchers have already sifted through. Much of it is from publicly available services like DDOSecrets.
Other data is comically useless and not in any way “hacked”, such as scrapes of public (and still available) Twitter accounts and Telegram channels. Like, imagine if someone “leaked” JD Vance’s (public) Twitter posts or Trump’s Truth Social posts.
Because its not exactly secret info lol all governments already have this info.. and most likely outdated crap, let the spy/inteligence agencies all over europe and america handle it, which they already are and have a lot more info than some incel anon hacker ever could find and now that they leaked it even if it was valid intel, russia would already have made changes and coverups so the info is no longer valuable. You dont let the enemy know you have hacked or stolen info lol
Responsible media also has to deal with verification issues. 9TB could be real leaked data with 1TB of misinformation added for example. How far would you trust leaked data?
Listen carefully I shall say this only once, it is me Michelle from the resistance. It’s a secret so not a word. The terabytes fly at midnight the nest is empty.
Sorry OP but you might be in a news desert. I don’t live in the US and I have seen a lot of stories on this. There’s been some preliminary details on the kind of data ‘released’ too. It seems this would be information that would be useful if your company was being investigated for labour issues.
The real story is the Russian IP address that was used to log into the system shortly after DOGE was granted access.
Because it’s a massive file and honestly I’d wager most people’s computers don’t have 10tb of space…? I consider myself quite a keen desktop gremlin and I only have 3.
I haven’t finished the Domino’s file yet!
Two major reasons at least for countries still having a free press. First, traditional news m outlets are slow when it comes to digital news and have in my experience a general aversion for anonymous. Second they need to verify the data which takes time especially given the amount.
One terabyte is equivalent to literally millions of pages of text. Even assuming there’s a lot of images as well that’s a lot of data to sort through. Then the news agencies will want to verify some of it or otherwise fact check what they’re reporting. This all takes time.
Two things: What is the contents of all of that? How much is news worth and how much has to be poured through by journalist and how much is news worthy.
There is a lot of security scan on Twitter account, Russian banks website , some european supermarketwebsite , a lot of webcam, few official documents, I didn’t read all but it’s the main part
Comments
What’s there to cover? Go find something interesting in the dump and that’ll get reported on.
Because who cares? Data only matters if there’s something meaningful on it. The quantity of data is not important
Because it’s 10tb
That will take a while to sort through all of it and se if there’s anything newsworthy
Because they have to sift through the data to find anything of importance
It was just released. They haven’t had time to look through it and fact check it, and they don’t like to report on things that may be fake or wrong.
One problem here is 10 TB of what? Is it just random stuff or is there stuff going on here? It’s hard to say before it’s been gone through.

Find something interesting in and post that to Reddit.
as far as I’ve seen there are not any bombshells in that data dump
When there are bombshells I’m sure it will be reported
Yahoo News UK reported on it this morning:
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/notorious-hacking-group-anonymous-unleashes-153009135.html
You gotta filter through all the data, extract all the files relating to powerful people and hide those away.
When you’re finished all that remains will be nothing worthy of news
3 homework folders.
The owners of the news corporations are probably implicated too…
Because it’s just random public files you can find online already and others have said it may contain malware but I can’t verify that.

Cause most data just isn’t very interesting.
Plus even if there is something important, it’s hard to verify.
The script kiddies? The fake hacker wannabes lol
The difference between journalists and politicians is that the former need some time to study 10TB of data
Because they’re more professional. They have to first fact check and determine its importance, which takes some time in this case.
Because journalists/people are lazy/human.

There are now 10TB of data to go through to find something to report on…
The answer is simple. They are compromised.
10tb is a lot of data. I don’t even have my 12tb media server half full. It’s going to take a while for someone to go through the data and see if anything is worthwhile. Could be a bunch of nothing or a whole lot of something.
For one, someone needs to parse it and/or read it all.
It’s gonna take any credible news source a little bit to read the files and do some research and write the story.
Redditors are just swapping rumours.
That’s why.

Because they’d rather just repeat partisan slop for the boomers than do actual journalism
Ever read up on the Panama Papers?
Responsible media also has to deal with verification issues. 9TB could be real leaked data with 1TB of misinformation added for example. How far would you trust leaked data?
Ever hear of The Panama Papers?
I would much rather them take some time to sift through and vet the data before reporting on it
Because they are all implicated
Listen carefully I shall say this only once, it is me Michelle from the resistance. It’s a secret so not a word. The terabytes fly at midnight the nest is empty.
Lol, the answers.

Probably because the news media at large in the U.S. only cares about their corporate interests.
The revolution will not be televised.
Because the media is bought and paid for by the very people the data is about
Because it’s a massive file and honestly I’d wager most people’s computers don’t have 10tb of space…? I consider myself quite a keen desktop gremlin and I only have 3.
I haven’t finished the Domino’s file yet!
They’re bought and paid for.
-Or should i say sponsored to omit actual news lmao

If the Democrats could find that kind of passion for average hard working Americans then people would not vote for a Trump

Republicans handlers told them to ignore the Dada drop.
Isn’t it just bullshit data like nmap scans against Trumps website literally anyone can do?
Because nothing fucking matters anymore. I can’t name one thing that would surprise me.
There’s at least one source saying it’s a complication of older leaks and publicly-accessible data: essentially, that the announcement is a lie.
They are trying to prove who Q is 1st.
