Beginning January 4, 2023, I posted the following word multiple times on my Facebook page:
“A major nation will be embarrassed in 2023 because some individuals will maliciously dump a trove of governmental confidential communications into the public domain. Remember Wikileaks?”
FULFILLMENT:
Some major media outlets are equating this leak to the Snowden leaks. Remember Edward Snowden? Here’s a snippet of the story which has been published in The Guardian, The Register, The Washington Post etc, under the title: “The Vulcan Files.”
“Leaked IT contractor files detail Kremlin's stockpile of cyber-weapons.
Snowden-esque 'Vulkan' dossier links Moscow firm to FSB, GRU, SRV

An unidentified whistleblower has provided several media organizations with access to leaked documents from NTC Vulkan – a Moscow IT consultancy – that allegedly show how the firm supports Russia's military and intelligence agencies with cyber warfare tools.
Journalists from Der Spiegel and Munich-based investigative group Paper Trail Media – in conjunction with The Guardian, ZDF, Der Standard (Austria), the Swiss Tamedia Group, The Washington Post, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Le Monde – have spent the past few months working with the whistleblower, and have just published a set of articles describing these documents, referred to as The Vulkan Files.
The leak is similar to the 2013 disclosures of US classified surveillance information from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, coincidentally now a Russian citizen.”
The leak has reportedly been confirmed by no less than 5 western intelligence agencies.
