Why should the malware be removed? Going through government email dumps seems like a great way to locate the next stuxnet.

If the detection is as easy to automate as you claim, I'm sure the users antiviruses will take care of it.

Which, if everyone reading these dumps was a researcher looking for the next stuxnet, would be a good point. But by that rationale, we might as well not bother with security anywhere on the internet just to maximize the chance of an interesting infection.

The malware should be removed because it's malware, no other rationale is necessary.

I'm sure the same people who get infected by spam emails on wikileaks are the same people who have already been infected by spam emails in their own inboxes.

It really doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

Do ... do you really consider this a rational reply?
