Four days after leak publisher DDoSecrets circulated private documents
from more than 200 law enforcement agencies across the United States,
Twitter has permanently suspended its account and falsely claimed that the
site may infect users with malware.
“Your account, DDoSecrets, has been suspended for violating the Twitter
rules,” this email, which Twitter sent to the account holders, said. The

suspension, please contact our support team.
