Top Secret Docs leaked on Minecraft?

The Ukrainians say the Russians leaked it, the Russians say the Ukrainians did it. Should also add in the possibility some American angry with our current policy on the war did it. I wonder if, when the culprit is found out, we will hear who it was.

 

Neither the russiansvor Ukrainian had anything to gain by leaking it. Hope someone ends up in a dark hole for a long time. Are these documents digitized sobthey could be hacked or hard copy only where it had to be someone with access?

 

see, classified documents are more secure if kept in a pool room.

It seems apparent that there is a mole in the system and Russia is using the info to try and increase pressure to stop supporting Ukraine.

If this information is available to all of the five eye countries it may be a mole in a foreign service or someone who got a big payment from Russia

 

except some of the documents were marked NOFORN so wouldn't seem that the mole would have come from a foreign service

 

Does noforn apply to five eyes partners?

 

Online definition: "The statement of NOFORN (meaning "no foreign nationals") is applied to any information that may not be released to any non-U.S. citizen. NOFORN and distribution statements are often used in conjunction with classified information or alone on SBU information."

 

information is marked NOFORN when it cant be shared with partners. So that would imply a foreign partner would not have had access to the information to "share"

 

Except the alliance is set up to share all intel from my limited understanding of it.

 

nope, not all.

 

I don’t know about security but I do know about gaming…. Discord is just a website like Too Hot. So if we post top secrets here it’s not quite like the Florida Gators were involved. Lol.

 

Well I’ve actually posted top secret information on here in the form of steganography in the babes thread…happy hunting

 

Aiding the Russia leak theory, the numbers in the Ukrainian War intelligence seem to be altered in Putin's favor.

 

Leaker of damaging U.S. intelligence files was reportedly administrator of a Discord chat room (msn.com)

Users of the social media site Discord say an administrator of a closed group chat room, or server, called "Thug Shaker Central" posted hundreds of classified documents during arguments over Russia's Ukraine invasion. Most of the documents that have emerged are from February and March, but the open-source investigators at Bellingcat said they saw evidence of documents from January. Bellingcat traced a handful of leaked documents from Thug Shaker Central to two larger Discord servers in early March, then 4Chan, and finally, on April 5, pro-Russia Telegram channels. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was briefed on the leak April 6.

Bellingcat spoke with three members of the Thug Shaker Central server, which was deleted April 7, and they described it as a tight-knit community of about 20 active users who shared an interest in video games, music, and Orthodox Christianity. The server "was not especially geopolitical in nature, although its users had a staunchly conservative stance on several issues," Bellingcat recounted. "Racial slurs and racist memes were shared widely."

The Discord users all refused to identify the person who posted the classified files, and one user told The Associated Press he kept copies of "way past hundreds" of the documents posted by "O.G." He said Americans deserve to see the files, and "on the off chance that the O.G. gets arrested, I'm leaking them all." Discord said it is cooperating with law enforcement investigating the leak.

"A surprisingly large number of people potentially had access to the Pentagon intelligence documents," The New York Times reports, "but clues left online may help investigators narrow down the pool of possible suspects relatively quickly." Notably, the Times says, "the intelligence materials appear to have been first photographed and then uploaded online, a kind of sloppy procedure" that could yield promising digital fingerprints.

 

And all my 12 year old is doing on Discord is talking to his buddies while playing Fortnite. I'm gonna have to tell him to up his game.

 

Which least significant bit are you hiding it in... Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Looks like we've identified the leaker and it ain't pretty. Serious psychological problems and extremist tendencies, obviously polluted by our current culture.

Leaker of U.S. secret documents worked on military base, friend says
THE DISCORD LEAKS | The online group that received hundreds of pages of classified material included foreigners, members tell The Post

The man behind a massive leak of U.S. government secrets that has exposed spying on allies, revealed the grim prospects for Ukraine’s war with Russia and ignited diplomatic fires for the White House is a young, charismatic gun enthusiast who shared highly classified documents with a group of far-flung acquaintances searching for companionship amid the isolation of the pandemic.


United by their mutual love of guns, military gear and God, the group of roughly two dozen — mostly men and boys — formed an invitation-only clubhouse in 2020 on Discord, an online platform popular with gamers. But they paid little attention last year when the man some call “OG” posted a message laden with strange acronyms and jargon.
