Russian hackers accidentally post two different versions of same stolen docs.

If they said that they why hasn't anyone linked to the statement? All we have had is links to news sites claiming anonymous sources and/or citing each other as sources.

Sources weren't anonymous, they were directly tied to the US government. Are you surprised that actual names of the specialists weren't released? Well, they are network security professionals, the nature of their work kinda makes it stupid for them to broadcast their names to the mass media.

Although so far the actual content of the leaked documents appears not to have been tampered with, manipulation would fit an established pattern of operational behaviour in other contexts, such as troll farms or planting fake media stories. Subtle (or not so subtle) manipulation of content may be in the interest of the adversary in the future. Documents that were leaked by or through an intelligence operation should be handled with great care, and journalists should not simply treat them as reliable sources.

So what's the point of this story again?

It looks like an attempt to discredit all leaks since people can't seem to stop the leaks. We'll likely see more articles like this as news outlets have become appealing targets for hackers.
