WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has claimed that the Russian government was not the source of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee. However, the WikiLeaks' upload approach may disprove this claim. The site stresses the anonymity of its sources. "Like other media outlets conducting investigative journalism, we accept (but do not solicit) anonymous sources of information," the site reads. "Unlike other outlets, we provide a high security anonymous drop box fortified by cutting-edge cryptographic information technologies. This provides maximum protection to our sources."
