Apparently to impress some youtuber.

Fucking captial-G Gamers. This is worse than some military officer leaking classified tank specs on War Thunder forums to win an online argument over the tank capabilities in the game >_>

Well the leak happened a couple of days ago, but now they traced it to some low-level 20yo employee that posted the documents on discord for internet e-cred

idk if they know all of them yet. But it seems like its mostly intel on other countries like Russia, Ukraine, Israel, China, etc. Including Russian's tactics and intel they gave to Ukraine, Ukraine's weaknesses, stuff like that. It may also compromised spies in Russia and Ukraine. So now they all know what we know about them.

Huh, didn't we just have someone leaked some military plans on Ukraine-Russo war in Minecraft?

At least War Thunder won't feel lonely now.

Nvm, it's the same leak from the Minecraft's Discord.

Wonder if they are hiring discord agents now? lol.

Just read an article that said

"The leaked documents circulated online for months before the US was aware of it, a fact which has raised alarm in the federal government and could cause them to expand the scope of social media networks they monitor."

I'd be legit good at it, I blend in like an internet chameleon and I mostly listen.

He worked in Intel which means he was likely often in the secure area. Being as new the military as he was, he probably didn't have his own access to the secure network but worked in an office where the secure connections are always up. He worked the night shift, whoever was working with him likely had to take a piss and didn't log out of the computer.
Kid accesses the files, prints them to the secure printer, and takes the documents home.
There's gonna be a lot of heads rolling on the military side.

Edit : this dude isn't a hacker or anything, he just had unauthorized access to the material.

So they hired a 20 year old into the Pentagon? Can't help but wonder did he get a handout job in such a vital place.

Idk, I'm just questioning why this 20 year old even had access to such classified docs.

Loonies are already saying it's fake and there's no way a US Air Marshall would have had clearance for this. AKA, their favorite conspiracy that nothing ever happens and everything is a cover-up/psy-op/FBI plot.

He likely worked in the command post and someone had their SIPR terminal up but didn't secure it when they left the room. Since you can't have cell phones, smart watches, two way radios, etc while in a secured room, he would have had to print the documents to a secure printer and then took them home.

It's not like the government really gives a fuck about classified information outside of scoring political brownie points so I wouldn't think this kid's life is "ruined," especially since once he's able to, he'll do interviews, and books, and all of that and y'all will just eat the shit up because it's so "fascinating."
