The whistle-blower website WikiLeaks has recently made huge disclosures which reveal sensitive information of hundreds of ordinary individuals. Those include mental health patients, sick children, and rape victims.

The transparency group has in the past revealed confidential information that has worried the United States Security Agency, the American Democratic Party, and even the Saudi Arabian Foreign Ministry. The most recent disclosures have been found to disclose intimate personal details of ordinary citizens, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

During the previous year alone, the website has published details from personal medical files of citizens in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and America. In addition, sensitive details of financial and personal matters and even identity details have been published on the website.

"They published everything: my phone, address, name, details," a Saudi Arabian who chose to remain anonymous told the news agency in an interview. Further, the man said the website had shockingly revealed details of a paternity case he was involved in with a former spouse."Publishing personal stuff like that could destroy people," the man told AP.

It is reported that the website also published names of Saudi Arabian citizens who were arrested for being gay. The WikiLeaks website responded to these claims of Saudi citizens saying the data was made available by the Saudi Government. The website said it was not responsible for disclosing "gays" to the Saudi government.

The diplomatic cables concerning Saudi Arabia alone comprise of more than a 100 medical files, AP reported. Some of the files describe information surrounding psychiatric patients, terminally ill children, and even refugees. The disclosures have been shocking to ordinary citizens as the website has claimed to promote privacy while revealing the goings-on of international governments.

Meanwhile, founder and editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange revealed recently that "significant" information concerning Democratic Presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton will be disclosed before the elections, CNBC reported. In July the website revealed audio recordings pulled from correspondences of the Democratic National Committee.

Reports claim that while the WikiLeaks library is expanding with millions of top secret files, it is also filling up with spam and rogue data as well. In the meantime, Assange continues to seek refuge at the Ecuadorean embassy in London. He has lived there for five-years as he fears extradition to Sweden, where he reportedly faces allegations of sexual assault.
