The initial post and data dump was on a Finnish TOR-based imageboard but it was written in English. It is still being discussed if the hacker actually is from Finland but uses English to not reveal that.

Most Finnish people are fluent in English so it wasn't an issue. The leak was in Finnish mainstream media before the Finnish extortion mails were even sent. When the mails were sent, all hell went loose.
