What We Know about the Pentagon Leaks

Top Secret classified Pentagon documents leaked on a Minecraft Discord server. The pages of documents contain sensitive information about troop placements in Ukraine, rumors about allies, and—weirdly—a character sheet for a tabletop roleplaying game.  On this episode of Cyber, host Matthew Gault takes a back seat and lets Motherboard editor-in-chief Jason Koebler interrogate him about what’s in these classified Pentagon documents. <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkadnb/pentagons-ukraine-war-plans-leaked-on-minecraft-discord-before-telegram-and-twitter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pentagon’s Ukraine War Plans Leaked on Minecraft Discord Before Telegram and Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kxvpb/leaked-pentagon-docs-share-wild-rumor-kremlin-plans-to-throw-putins-war-while-hes-getting-chemo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leaked Pentagon Docs Share Wild Rumor: Kremlin Plans to ‘Throw’ Putin’s War While He’s Getting Chemo</a> <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/ak3d5z/leaked-classified-documents-also-include-roleplaying-game-character-stats" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leaked Classified Documents Also Include Roleplaying Game Character Stats</a> We’re recording CYBER live on <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/motherboardtv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitch</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/motherboard" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>.
