Highly doubt this, if only because this method of getting the information would be so easy I would have expected the Sharty kids to have even been able to pull this off.
The likely scenarios are (in no particular order)
- Someone accidentally gave a bad actor too high a Discord permission
- Disgruntled ex-employee, someone who was still around until (as of now) Gen 2's premier. This date moves obviously as later joining girls get potential doxed
- Targeted account infiltration - this stuff is too small potatoes for a random hacker. This is someone who wanted access to specifically Phase's files and targeted people who had access with phishing or something to compromise their info
- Legitimate hack to computer system - least likely scenario IMO if only because I doubt fish has the kind of computer infrastructure that would be subject to this kind of breech.
I actually doubt it's for attention. There's typically 3 reasons someone will hack and leak information like this. 1) Attention 2) exploitation (blackmail) 3) malice.
I highly doubt the fish has any kind of data that could be exploited/used to get some kind of ransom. The worst case is they leak information on future plans and Fish has an easy avenue to gain major sympathy and positive public perception. In the case of vtubers, the dox would be the thing you threaten to release.
I also doubt it was for attention because if the fact it was posted on KF, as well as in parts. If you wanted attention it would have been better to post it someplace that actively hates Pippa like Sharty, Onion Party, lolcow, or even someplace crazy like Baphomet. Why post it on KF, a slow as hell forum where what user base that remains are major fans of the rabbit? As well, the release in parts is odd. If they wanted it to get max eyeballs they either would have released it all at once, or in smaller parts to draw it out as long as possible.
My money is this was done purely for malice. Someone is pissed, and very specifically with Phase.
