Pentagon Leak: How Classified Documents Are (Supposed to Be) Handled | WSJ 

Our entire intelligence/security system needs to be seriously thinned out from top to bottom. No one takes their job serious because no one is ever fired or held accountable. My brother was a top secret senior analyst for the NSA for 25 years. He retired 32 years ago, and you still cannot get him to divulge anything he did even with a couple beers in him.

And let us not forget the War Thunder players who leaked classified documents around the world just to win online arguments.

You mean classified documents are supposed to be kept secret?! Gasp! I never would have known with the way that top government officials have been handling documents lately.

The bad way is the burning bucket.

Great classified documents primer.

Imagine the strongest army on the world relying on personal trust as the ultimate security system to protect top secrets and classified documents, what a joke.

Theres also "USAP" (unacknowkedged special access program)

It's important that the international community comes together to condemn any form of interference in the domestic affairs of other nations.

It's _The Falcon and the Snowman_ all over again. These fools never learn.

Avert your eyes is not exactly secure.

that's cool so link pls

Top secret places still need janitors.

I'm rather concerned that you can get hold of information on handling classified documents so easily. Surely that's also supposed to be classified.

This video is a general view of how classified is handled. Somehow we are so upset about this now when the secretary or state and her staff did the same thing. In a scif and taking the headers of the documents and sending the docs unsecured to a unclassified server or sending them to her staff. Why wasn’t she and her staff charged with this similar crime? Her intentions were criminal

I don't know if he really was the one who've leaked the information, but no matter the age of this person we should stay objective. Because such incident's consequences might be dire for not only US but its allies too. He should answer before the law, period.

This individual should be punished just as severely as vindman, Clinton, Pence and Biden

All classified documents are under the control of a document security manager. They are kept in a locked safe and physically signed in and out. The security document manager must be an NCO, Officer or Civil Service employee with a secret clearance or higher. This individual needs to be prosecuted for negligence or gross negligence in this case.

how? by not making a 21 year old the star of the show and use type writers. but are electronic typewriters hackable?

this leak also can be used later for narrative ukraine lost because of this leak forget about they facing with russia

Someone better tell Joe, he doesn't handle them properly

See ya, Kid.

Executive Order 13526 Section 1.7 says that the US government may not classify something in order to conceal government wrongdoing!

The problem is that politicians have begun classifying things to cover up their misdeeds.

Reminds the movie I spy, you spy. Actually I haven't watched the movie but every one spied.

Wait, Bruuuh uploaded the documents to a discord server? How stupid do you have to be to upload it to a private communication platform where everything is stored on their servers? Bruuuh never heared of Team Speak and private server encryption? SMH

serious risk to national security... paper ... so is handing over high tech armaments to a foreign country until the warehouse is empty, no big deal... do i dare mention strategic oil reserves? how about the 155 stockpile ?

But why did it take so long, months, to do something about the leaks? For instance, they could have arrested him sooner.

.... What they not gonna rough him up and accidentally kill him like they do people stopped for traffic stops? ....oh ok

Soon enough the Constitution is going to be a classified document 😂

who would sacrifice their wherewithal to play a game?..someone older and smarter than he must have told him how,,or he copied them from someone else who perused and purloined them..check his account,check to see if he has stacks of cash hidden ,and most of all, check to see if he got paid in bit coin or something..people don't do that for free..I would have to say that someone agreed to pay for the info,but told him to put it out there as to not throw suspicion on the transaction..but the information they took was already known..

The perpetrator should be severely punished for such actions. This is unacceptable

I guess they're supposed to be stored in Florida with Donald. that's what I understand from DOJ Garland

The problem with classified docs is that it's all subjective. Anyone can claim national security risk to cover up for the truth.

now lets imagine a president took them home

The paradox is that may be this leak would lead to end the war in Ukraine

Dirty man…. Doing your country like that… I hope he get 30+ years stripped from his citizenship and then shipped off to Russia

If the man who made these documents public ever gets out of prison, I'd be happy to buy him a beer 🍺

One can be fascinated by computers and hacking, spending countless hours reading about different security systems and learning how to break through them. One can be challenged to try his skills on the Pentagon's security system. To his surprise, he was able to breech their defenses and gain access to some of their top-secret files. It is shocking shocked by what he found. The Pentagon's security system was riddled with flaws and weaknesses that could easily be exploited by anyone with the right knowledge. He knew that if he could find these flaws, others could too. And it wasn't just hackers that were a threat; foreign governments and malicious actors could use this security information.could He could have contacted the Pentagon and informed them of the security vulnerabilities he had discovered. Anyway, Pentagon should be thankful to this guy. Pentagon was able to patch the security flaws in their system and prevent future breaches.

My late father was flying bombing missions over Germany when he was 19! Now, we have snowflake gamers supposedly guarding our country's security.

Question did Donald Trump scrap a document post building search? These are questions ANY of should be asking

You have been cleared 1 Keep the rest of those lips shut

Gamers will risk anything just to win an argument 😂😂😂

stop using iPhones ,

😂😂😂

NIGERIA also being spied on by our dear USA partner!

simple solution to the leaks problem: total govt transparency. bonus point: ain't it good to know what your govt is actually doing

Genius kid. Must be Republican

Has general milly found out what gender he is

my full respect for the hero who made these documents public 🖖

Unless your Joe Biden..

Classified documents are supposed to be stored in a garage next to your sweet corvette. I learned that from Biden.

Funny people aren't concerned about what the documents say and why they keep information from us.

#30KforBackPay #ZapenForPrez
