Digital leak is largest, most damaging
Al Jazeera is publishing details from hundreds of secret intelligence documents that it gained access to through what it describes as a “digital leak”. No further details have been forthcoming on how or where the leak occurred, although the DA has called on the Department of State Security to investigate the breach. Al Jazeera states that the so-called “Spy Cables” cover the period from 2006 to December 2014 and include briefings and analyses written by South African State Security Agency operatives.
