According to The New York Times, an operation was carried out in the United States to arrest a suspect in the leak of classified data.
Recall, The New York Times today reported that the attacker may be 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard soldier Jack Teixeira, who is stationed at Fort Bragg. The publication indicated that in the near future, “FBI investigators plan to talk with the military.” The Wall Street Journal, citing an anonymous source, said that the first arrest in the case is possible today.
Jack Teixeira was the leader of a chat room called Thug Shaker Central, where 20-30 young adults and teenagers banded together over guns, racist memes and video games. This is “a young, charismatic weapons enthusiast who shared secret documents with a group of distant acquaintances who were looking for communication in the conditions of pandemic isolation,” the newspaper notes. Journalists got acquainted with almost 300 secret documents published in the chat.
