Pentagon Takes Action After Classified Document Leak

The Pentagon has launched a security review and is limiting access to highly classified information following the recent Discord leak. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has directed a comprehensive review of security programs, policies, and procedures, with initial findings and recommendations due within 45 days. The Pentagon is also reviewing distribution lists to ensure that only those who need access to classified material have it. The DoD has been working on cybersecurity reforms, including implementing zero trust, which assumes no user is fully trusted on a network and must continuously be validated.
