Images of the leaked classified documents were posted to at least two chatrooms on Discord, a social media platform popular with video gamers
The leaks began months ago on the first chatroom, called Thug Shaker Central, that Jack Teixeira allegedly oversaw, multiple US officials told CNN. An FBI affidavit unsealed Friday corroborates this timeline. Teixeira, a 21-year-old airman with the Massachusetts Air National Guard, made his first appearance in federal court in Boston Friday morning following his arrest by the FBI in North Dighton, Massachusetts, the day before.
But End of Wow Mao Zone chatroom members told CNN that Lucca played a key role in propagating the documents that Teixeira allegedly leaked. On Discord, Lucca had stature and anonymity — two things that allowed the documents to remain on the platform for weeks without repercussions. And multiple users assumed the documents were fake, that no one would be brazen enough to post US military secrets to the platform.
