Then they probably should have released the first data dump on Monday and the second dump on Tuesday. By the time the media dig through the CEO's emails it'll be Friday and lose a lot of steam over the weekend.
- nostrademons 11y agoI think they did - the first Reddit post on it [1] is dated 4 days ago, and the torrent [2] was datestamped for just after midnight on Sunday morning. My guess is that the timing didn't go according to plan - they picked an obscure subreddit to post on, and the first press coverage didn't happen until Tuesday night (having apparently heard about it on Tuesday morning). And then it's generally a good idea to let at least 2 days pass between press releases, otherwise the public doesn't have a chance to absorb the first media cycle. They probably hoped it would be noticed on Sunday night, hit the press first thing Monday morning, and then they could follow up with the CEO dump on Wednesday.
