Pentagon leak suspect's motive revealed by Discord users.
TL;DR Summary
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. Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old junior-ranking US National Guard airman, was arrested on Thursday in connection to the leak of classified Pentagon documents. The US military uses Discord to recruit young people who are enthusiastic about video games. SOCOM previously had to warn servicemembers about posting sensitive information on the app.
