2016 "Beginning in or around June 2016, the Conspirators staged and released tens of thousands of the stolen emails and documents. They did so using fictitious online personas, including "DCLeaks" and Guccifer 2.0""
2016 In late September, DC Leaks published hundreds of emails from the account of a twenty-two-year-old freelancer for the Clinton campaign.
2016 In mid-August, when Guccifer and DC Leaks were making near-daily news, a third mysterious social-media account popped up out of nowhere.
2016 Journalists were eager to help. On August 27, when part of the DC Leaks website was down for some reason, Twitter suspended the @DCLeaks account.
2016 The GRU officers allegedly engaged in active cyber operations that included stealing and selectively disseminating information through fictitious online personas, namely "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0."
2018 In early June, a Twitter account associated with the site started linking to the private conversations of Philip Breedlove, who had been, until a few weeks earlier, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
2018 Meanwhile a mysterious website named DC Leaks was registered on April 19.

The operators behind Guccifer and DC Leaks also appear to have recognized that American journalists were desperate for scoops, no matter their source.
