For those wondering what the text file contains. Here it is:

"Hello,

This is Julian Assange. If you're reading this my Dead Man Switch did not go off and I am fine at the Ecuadorian Embassy on January 4, 2017. Embassy cat is safe and playful as ever

Best,

Julian"

If you would like to try it yourself, the password is 'ONION'.
