🚨Why you shouldn't open the leaked files from the website Talibleaks(dot)com First, the leak includes many documents that do not necessarily reveal sensitive information about the Taliban’s operations. These documents appear to have been scraped from standard Windows PCs. Secondly, many of the leaked files belong to civil servants and civilians who continued working under the Taliban but are not affiliated with the group. Thirdly, very few of the files are actually recent. Many date back to the Islamic Republic era, rather than after the Taliban’s takeover. Fourthly, accessing, distributing, and publicly sharing some of these files—particularly those containing identifiable information about civilians—is strictly illegal under GDPR regulations. Lastly, according to the Google Transparency Report, the website Talibleaks(dot)com contains “harmful content,” meaning it installs “unwanted or malicious software on visitors’ computers.”
