Assange was & is among the more skilled hackers to ever live, or there would be no WikiLeaks.
Freedom of information is a joke to anyone schilling for the two major American political forces. Hackers just want to learn as much as possible, espionage & leaks are vastly more common than identity theft or spearphishing. Journalism is being inaccurately portrayed by our establishment politicians as mutually exclusive from tech savvy or modernized networks. Freedom of information has nothing to do with media, which is why Assange leveraged so much technology. Hacking is more of a way of life than a crime & you're all more informed as a result. Don't pass this guy off as a cranky journalist with a nice laptop, that's not the truth.
Do your homework, I'm in the middle of mine.
Obviously you haven't gotten very far with it.
Assange is a publisher, he published leaks or hacks from other sources. He is accused of publishing the Clinton emails that Russia allegedly hacked but the emails were leaked from inside the DNC.
Just a small clue, his site isn't called Wikihacks
