A “planned leak” with 0 demonstration of legitimacy is nothing more than creative writing on the internet.

When planned leaks like this occur for real (or black hats are trying to prove possession of data they shouldn’t have like credit card dumps) there’s almost always a small cut of the data that’s released to give legitimacy to the actor and the dump.

This looks much more like someone trying to wateringhole attack people or extort crypto influencers/funds.
