Discord cooperating with investigation into leak of Pentagon papers

This is reported by Reuters, Ukrinform saw.

"In regards to the apparent breach of classified material, we are cooperating with law enforcement," the statement said. "As this remains an active investigation, we cannot provide further comment at this time," the company said in a statement.

According to the agency, the statement was made while questions continue to arise about who leaked the classified papers, whether they are genuine, and whether the intelligence assessments seen there are reliable.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, the New York Times published an article claiming the Pentagon was investigating the leak of allegedly classified documents now available on social networks, which relate to the plans of the U.S. and NATO regarding the counteroffensive of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

A group of Bellingcat investigators found the original sources of leaked Pentagon documents that first surfaced on Discord servers as early as January 2023.

Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the head of the President's Office, says the leak of documents allegedly disclosing Ukraine's counteroffensive plans is a Russian bluff.

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the security breach.
