Leaked top secret documents were posted on a Discord server called, “Thug Shaker Central.” Possibly as early a January. They spread to other servers and to Minecraft before escaping to 4chan and then Telegram and Twitter.
So, in sum:
30+ leaked documents were shared on the WowMao Discord server on March 1st and 2nd
10 files were resposted on a Minecraft Map Discord server on March 4th
On April 5th, 3 of these files were posted on 4chan and 5 (incl. a doctored document) on Russian Telegram channels
In total Aric Toler has seen 54 documents, but some are claiming 100+ have been leaked.

A YouTuber couldn’t get recent satellite pics of a particular Russian tank storage site, so he paid to have a satellite retargeted to image that specific site until he got a clear picture.
Then he counts every single Russian tank in storage.
This is stuff the IC was spending billions on just a few decades ago; now a YouTuber does the previously exclusive intelligence operation for a sponsorship from “RAID Shadow Legends!”
We over estimated the impact of technology short term, and under estimate long term.
