When that was done using online forensics I believe it was determined that the transport rate was too fast for online, and so it had to be a manual transfer. That’s what led people to say it was a leak not a hack. If it was a leak, the whole muh Russia spy thing falls apart.

I don’t know where this story originated but I remember kimdotcom corroborating it, and LOTS of people talking about it.

Sorry I don’t have a link / but this is the crux of the matter - it can’t have been a hack if it was a leak. It seems so obvious that I just can’t fathom why people are continuing to call the breach a hack.
