wait what... I'm totally missing why they need all that. Both the hardware (really? racks and racks of servers?) and the backup etc etc. I thought they were hosting their shit elesewhere?

Something isn't right here.

This isn't wikileaks. It's an ISP that just so happens to have wikileaks as a customer.

This is what I figured, though I'm missing it in the article in the OP as it is clearly written to make it sound like THAT is actually "WikiLeaks" (which I knew could not be the truth).

The data center is owned by some other company, Wikileaks is just storing their data there.

Right I get it. That's 3 or 4 explainations now... and its pretty much what I assumed and figured. Though the article in the OP certainly paints a much different picture.

LOL, the data has to come out somewhere.

A simple snip here and a snip there would solve the problem right quick.
