The platform said it was cooperating with law enforcement officials, but could not provide details.
Instant messaging system Discord is cooperating with US law enforcement to investigate the leak of classified Pentagon documents. This was stated in a company statement, according to Reuters on Thursday, April 13.
“Regarding the apparent leak of classified materials, we are cooperating with law enforcement agencies. As the investigation is still ongoing, we cannot comment at this time,” the statement said.
Discord’s announcement comes amid questions about who exactly leaked the classified documents, whether they are genuine and whether the intelligence estimates on them are credible.
Recall that the Pentagon has admitted that highly classified information has entered the Network, the disclosure of which poses a very serious risk to national security.
CBS News reported that the “leaked” documents were folded, opened, then photographed and shared on social media, including 4Chan and Discord.
In addition, a source told the channel that not all printers in US government offices have access to print classified documents. In particular, devices where printing is allowed are registered before starting and receive a unique ID. This will allow the investigation to more easily determine the source of the leak.
