It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context.  WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.

mobile. not cellular

use of british dd/mm/yyyy format
not american mm/dd/yyyy format

his language was british. but heck im british and pre-pandemic i spent many years abroad. so my language does not = my location
and knowing he is british doesnt reveal any location either

Fun fact -
The only hornet in the US is the European hornet, which is commonly referred to in the south as the Japanese hornet.

The book, "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest", was popularized in the US and UK in 2009 and 2010, so the phrase would be extant in both locations at the time.

Europeans and Americans has the date formatting backwards. It should be yyyy/mm/dd to make sorting by date easier, like the Japanese do. Still, the dd/mm/yyyy format is easier to handle than mm/dd/yyyy for anyone who has to work with data over time.

At the end of the day, it is about probabilities, even if hard evidence one day gives new details. The inconsistency of spelling, if taken at face value, points to an international, but the sleep schedule points to an American location.
