This might be the GitHub repo mentioned in the article: https://github.com/I-S00N/I-S00N

Although I don't read Chinese, using Google Translate on that url makes it seem likely.

I have to wonder, was this upload intentional or a mistake? Could be either - a Chinese version of Snowden recoiling against the state’s actions, or a misconfigured software agent perhaps still in debug mode.

The wording of things in the Google Translate of the GitHub repo makes it super clear this isn't an accidental leak.

Phrases like:

• "The truth behind An Xun."

• "An Xun deceived the national security agency"

• "An Xun’s financial issues"

• "Chat records between An Xun’s first-in-command Wu Haibo and second-in-command Chen Cheng"

• "An Xun infiltrated overseas government departments, including India, Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, NATO, etc."

• "Anxun employee information"

So, whatever this is... it's not accidental.
