Information leakers realized that they might be next.
In February, information surfaced that miHoYo (HoYoverse) lawyers filed a lawsuit in the US against the well-known leaker HomDGCat, who shared information about Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail long before official announcements.
Several other well-known members of the leaker community realized that they could be next and began to "pause" their activities or quit altogether: Mortis/Anon leaks , HXG_diluc, Seele Leaks (Chalice Leak), Galaxy leaks, Shiroha.
However, things are not so simple with Seele Leaks (Chalice Leak). First, a statement was published that they "were not forced to write", according to which the leaker and his fellow administrators would cease their activities.
A few hours later, a different message appeared
Hello everyone, this is the new owner of the Mito Seele leaks channel. I have a lot to say, but one phrase is enough to describe the current situation: "The legend has begun." (from One Piece, chapter 100).
The flow of leaks for Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail then resumed. It is assumed that Seele found a way to protect himself.
