The Problem with Discord: Latest Pentagon Leak Raises Concerns for US Military Recruitment.

Members of a private Discord server where hundreds of US intelligence documents concerning the war in Ukraine were shared said the suspected leaker wanted to show off rather than fulfill some public duty. The US military uses Discord to recruit young people who are enthusiastic about video games. The reliance on digital platforms means the US military also has to be wary of dealing with an increasingly online population, especially on apps such as Discord, where users may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics because the servers can be set private.
