We knew it was coming since December when ThinkSecret announced its settlement with Apple, but it is now official: ThinkSecret is no longer publishing new content. Not only that, though; the site has been taken offline completely. Visiting thinksecret.com now results in a 403 Forbidden message. MacRumors notes that ThinkSecret published for so long after the initial settlement has to do with advertising obligations.

It should be interested to see which site--if any--takes ThinkSecret’s mantle. AppleInsider, perhaps?

Farewell ThinkSecret.
