added info about the earliest and latest known dates of the leaks and added the new pokemon build
The breach occurred in March 2018 when Zammis Clark illegally breached and obtained access to Nintendo's internal network, accessing servers used for the development of Nintendo's games and consoles. Zammis downloaded a large number of files from these servers rumored to total over 2.5 terabytes, including the source code and development files for various Nintendo games as well as development repositories for Nintendo systems including the Wii, [[iQue Player]], and 3DS.

The earliest known date of the leaks is March 13th. In the September 9th leak, the date modified on every folder is March 13th, 2018. The build of the second archive in the October 21st leak was also made March 13th.
The latest known date of the leaks is May 25th, when Zammis could have stopped grabbing files. A build of Pokemon Sword dated May 25th was released, and is the latest leak so far.
While the contents of the breach have not been released publicly in full, a number of files from the breach have been gradually released to the public since it occurred, ranging from the initial release in April 2018 up to October 2020. While the initial releases were done by Zammis himself, Zammis disappeared from the Internet (presumably due to prosecution by law enforcement) in late 2018 before news reports were released in early 2019 stating that he had been arrested for the breach, although not incarcerated due to concerns over his autism making him a potential target while in prison.
