WikiLeaks is confirming in a tweet that Equador cut off Julian Assange’s internet access this Saturday. According to WikiLeaks, the action took place after the publication of Hillary Clinton’s Goldman Sachs speechs.
Late Sunday night, WikiLeaks tweeted: WikiLeaks is reporting that “Julian Assange’s internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party. We have activated the appropriate contingency plans.”
Earlier in the day, WikiLeaks tweeted hash codes in what many hope is an effort to authenticate emails ahead of time that could prove to be very damaging to Secretary of State John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.

Hash codes are a digital “fingerprint” of a file that can demonstrate provenance of the file itself and authenticate its source.
