===April 2018 - April 2020, the "Beytah" era===
This was the very beginning of the Nintendo data leaks. Things including undiscovered Pokemon demos, debug ROMs, data from the 80s and 90s, and more data would be released during this period. Some of the most important leaks, the "Holy Grails" of rare gaming data also happened during this period.

===May - December 2020, the "Gigaleak" era===
In May of 2020, a new era of leaking had begun. More and more data from wack0's data breach would continue to be leaked to [[Pokemon Proto General]] on 4chan, rapidly increasing in volume with every new leak. Lots of very important [[BroadOn]], [[iQue]] and Wii-related data was leaked during this time.

A few new archives were released to 4chan. 3 of these archives contain 3 revisions of [[t210_t214_brom.7z|the Switch's bootrom]], and the fourth archive contains a [[eevee.zip|beta ROM of the game Pokemon Let's Go Eevee]]. This game can only be run through hactool after using dev-keys however, as it hasn't been signed for retail consoles.

A comment on 4chan predicting that the Switch bootrom would be the final release strongly implies that this is the last release of data from the breach, at least from the entities responsible for the majority of the 2020 releases.<ref>https://archive.nyafuu.org/vp/thread/45746254/#45747887</ref>

'''2021, July 20'''
In lieu of popular rumors saying the Switch bootrom from December would be the end of the leaks, on July 20, 2021, the community was blown away with a total of 10 new leaks of internal Nintendo data posted to 4chan. These contained datasheets for the Wii and Switch, several source code repositories related to the Wii and GameCube (such as the source code for a Nintendo internal version of Revolution SDK 3.2, and the source code for the GameCube startup menu), more diagnostic tools, an undiscovered prototype of Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, and much more.
