It would appear that They covertly inserted a bit of false (or classified) data in with the expose- in order to discredit the entire thing, but also to frame those at the symposium as computer hackers on steroids- who are also probably in-league with the January 6th'er 'terrorists.'
How could they insert data into something that was in Mike's possession?
They would have to remove the data from Mike, make their alterations, then place it back into Mike's possession.
They also have to make sure that their altered copy is the only copy Mike has. Otherwise Mike could just toss out their altered copy and release his original copy.
something something, clowns in action infiltrated and planted the stuff.
Mike and Co got savvy to it, just in time maybe.
They released an earlier edit and/or diverted from that plan entirely, totally ignoring the pcaps it would seem, was kinda sketchy at the time.
They seemed real shaken to be talking about stuff for a minute. All the news stations left and came back like 20 minutes later as if they knew they would have been covering something illegal or something.
Yeah, this is exactly the problem with this whole story Mike is telling. It seems to break down upon this point, there's no way to fraudulently insert data that Mike had original control over without cutting him out completely and secretly. I don't think they could realistically do that. I'm not sure this whole story passes the sniff test, even if I want the corrupted election information to come out and change things.

Data was altered, and the "stuff" that was added was classified. Meaning, if they released that they would be charged with releasing classified info.
Just whistleblow the shit out of it. Spread it from every corner of the earth ffs.
Guy further down on the chat logs breaks it down better.
you could go copy/paste and haul it on over here?

Seems like a lot of steps.

It smelled, smelly.
