Incidents[edit | edit source]

WikiLeaks Proposals (2010)[edit | edit source]

The Team Themis WikiLeaks proposal was a 2010–2011 plan by Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal, and Berico Technologies, discussed with the law firm Hunton & Williams, to undermine WikiLeaks and supporters using cyberattacks, disinformation, and pressure on journalists such as Glenn Greenwald[3][4]. The materials surfaced after Anonymous hacked HBGary in February 2011 and released tens of thousands of emails[5]. Following publication, Palantir apologized and severed all contacts with HBGary, and Berico said it had discontinued all ties with HBGary Federal[6][7]. Bank of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said they had not hired the firms for this work[8].
