If you visit the stats page for that bitly link by adding a + to the end, you'll find that it was visited exactly twice, both visits at the right time for the hack, and you'll find that the Wikileaks data cuts off soon after the hack, probably when they set up 2FA as suggested. While that doesn't technically prove that they're related, it's better evidence than we have for any other theories.
