At what point did Wikileaks become the bad guys?

Was this a change in their behavior, or a change in American political attitudes towards the role of journalism?

I’ll engage rather than downvoting. Something always struck me as odd about Assange, and while we can debate whether conspiring with the Russians in hack and leak operations against the US is a departure from their prior behavior, I think it’s unfair to pretend Americans suddenly had a huge value shift in not being okay with that.
