Wikileaks tends to leak classified information that is littered with sensitive files, including personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses—as seen in the recent hacking of the email server of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). 

The emails showed how the DNC actively strategized against Senator Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton, including exchanges between seven top figures looking to depict Sanders as someone who is religiously fickle.

Snowden recently made headlines when it was learned that he will participate in a Q&A session entitled, “Snowden Live” during the screening of “Snowden,” a film about his life from 2004 to 2013. Snowden—who lives in Moscow, Russia—will appear via satellite on Sept. 14 at select theaters.
