This piece adds color to what Bellingcat and others have reported on the origins of the leaks. The document dumps were a flex by a racist guy hanging out with teenagers online.
I'm interested in this quote:
"Russian intelligence operatives have been suspected of befriending gamers who they believe work for intelligence agencies and encouraging them to divulge classified information, a senior U.S. official said."
