It seems like WikiLeaks should know, more than anyone, that announcing a large posting is a cat call for attacks beforehand by hackers.
The reason i'd suspect the doubt is that several choice individuals, such as Little Kim (dot com), have made these game show announcements for YUGE releases in the past that never came to fruition.
So far, all the fine details point to Assange being gone from the picture, and WikiLeaks web compromised. There was the 8chan individual whom stated he was part of the team to the Reddit AMA a month back from the 'WikiLeaks team'.
Regardless, we'll have to see whether they use any form of verification system WikiLeaks has used in the past (PGP/DKIM/etc).

This is not Wikileaks. If you did your research, you will see that the owner of this site claimed to have hacked wikileaks and stole the information.

Many of the promises for leaks have been kept.
If the wikileaks twitter account is compromised they may just be using a different method.
They don't have to release through the countdown site. The countdown could just be a countdown for when they release with any variety of methods.
