I thought I read this before, and sure enough it's a follow up to a 2023 article
TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.
Guy was only leaking to show off to a bunch of teenagers. Loser
To be fair, leaking government secrets is the most effective defense against momma jokes.
Your momma leaks government secrets.
governmentsecrets.pdf , Ha! Gotcha!

Yo momma's lips are so loose, she leaks government secrets.
What does being admin has to do with it?
No idea why they worded the article that way. The person going to prison is the person who leaked the documents and was also the admin of the discord server they leaked it to.
Thank you for confirming. I don't click articles on socials due to tracking but that's my understanding also.
So the wording is FUD as I suspected...
His crime is posting classified info as insider and he can't even pretend to be a whistleblower.
Either way, folks take note! This is how modern propaganda works. Subtle and you have to know facts before hand in order not to fall for it
maybe it is modern propaganda, maybe the author is just incompetent moron trying to get as much clicks as possible 😔
Might Discord be, potentially, in some way related to the notorious hacker known as 4chan 🤣
Yeah, they should lock them both, just to be on the safe side.
Who ever wrote that have superficial understanding of how these services operate...
They should not be writing on the topic if they don't properly researched the topic.
They at best an idiot, but likely just a useful idiot for the people in charge.
Where is the editorial quality?
🤡
that's little bit too harsh. the authors of the article write general news, they do not specialize in technology, and it is pretty clear none of them is gamer (i suspect that telegraph correspondent to united states doesn't have much free time to waste on gaming 😂).
so while that paragraph is stupid to the degree where it is bordering on funny, i am not looking for malicious intent behind it.

first of all, admin of some random discord server is something else than discord admin, but that wouldn't give such nice tabloid headline...
Brain dead "journalism" strikes again!
