Of the many reasons you could be spending a big chunk of the rest of your life in federal prison, impressing NEETs on discord is one of the stupider ones. I hope he spends many years considering his decisions.
I also hope that a Republican doesn’t win the election next year, because whoever it would be, he’ll totally grant a pardon for dumb and completely political reasons. I wish the US had at least two functioning parties run by adults, rather than the 0.5 we have now.
This idiot is going to live in infamy in a million fucking PowerPoint slides about the power of stupidity in the forces, and the need for "see something say something."
The reality is that a lot of places have lax security because "everyone knows each other" and because nobody wants to be the difficult one. Hopefully this finally changes some of that toxic bullshit.
I mean, he was a fucking Air Force reservist. And why is nobody logging access and/or doing log analysis to look for weird access patterns? Or if they are doing that, how come nobody noticed a fucking reservist repeatedly accessing information that had nothing to do with his job?
Also, this is his bedroom. Like holy shit, the flags were unbelievably red.
He shall live rent free in every crybaby’s head😎
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Hypocrisy and to the republic for which it stands, one nation without liberty or justice for all.

Oh man I hear the scooped mids in my head. Played the shit out of that album in high school when it came out.
Wait I'm OOTL, what happened?
Military couldn’t figure out how top secret info kept getting leaked. This was info regarding troop positions, equipment specs, etc… They were thinking that it was some top-level member of the military who was leaking all of these, because nobody else had enough access to be able to see all the different things that were being leaked.
Turns out, it was some dude in IT who had admin rights. He was playing games while on voice chat on Discord, and was getting roasted. He basically told them “y’all don’t even know how important I am. I have Top Secret clearance and could smoke any of y’all if I wanted to.” Naturally, they responded with “lol prove it loser.”
So he did. He started posting Top Secret documents in the discord. And someone else on that Discord started sharing them elsewhere, until it eventually made its way all the way to foreign intelligence organizations.
I feel like the War Thunder forums should be part of this conversation
Remember wiki leaks? Men in black taking government computers and wiping the hard drive because they contained widely known and publicly available information. And all because private Pile clicked on a news link. This guy's fucked
I dislike WikiLeaks because it isn't a true Wiki. Nobody could edit the site in a Wikipedia like fashion. It is a sham Wiki.
Even weirder is how some people(looking at you NCD) just focused on "haha dumb discord leaker" while conveniently ignoring the actual contents of the leaks.
In my unit we hazed and bullied these types of chuds.
