The guy who leaked top secret documents on Discord has been arrested.
is a 21-year-old member of the intelligence wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard. Teixeira was arrested earlier today, and is now in the custody of the FBI.
Teixeira allegedly shared the documents with members of his own Discord server, called Thug Shaker Central, a group of between 20 and 30 members who initially came together over shared interests in"guns, racist online memes, and videogames." Most of the members of the group were teenagers, according to the report, who looked up to Teixeira as their leader.

One of the members of Thug Shaker Central, a 17-year-old who recently graduated from high school, told the Times that Teixeira wasn't trying to be a whistleblower, and that the documents he shared in Discord weren't meant to go any further."This guy was a Christian, anti-war, just wanted to inform some of his friends about what's going on," he said."We have some people in our group who are in Ukraine. We like fighting games, we like war games.
Teenage boys generally aren't great when it comes to maintaining operational security and that's clearly the situation here. But one of the investigators on the case said Teixeira gave himself away through his Steam profile—it led to an Instagram account with photos that the investigation team was able to match to the location the leaked documents were photographed before being uploaded.
