• DeadBehindTheEyes.com: A shady businessman finds a loophole in the SEO system, uses scare tactics against customers to drum up negative online feedback, propels his site to the top of Google’s search results for relevant keywords.

• Let It Leak: Anti-secret organization WikiLeaks provides several news outlets with massive cache of 251,287 diplomatic cables — 11,000 of which are classified as “secret” — providing “an unprecedented look at backroom bargaining by embassies around the world, brutally candid views of foreign leaders and frank assessments of nuclear and terrorist threats.”

• More from The Guardian, El Pais.

Extras:
