We’ve seen secret military documents pop up on gaming forums before. However, a new leak affecting the USA was stated to be the biggest disclosure in recent years. The US government has acknowledged that sensitive documents related to the war in Ukraine have surfaced on the Minecraft Discord server.
Ukrainian war documents surfaced on Minecraft’s Discord server
The secret military document, which contains information about the war between Ukraine and Russia, mobilized the US army. The leak reportedly first started on a small instant messaging platform and then reached the Minecraft Discord server.
It did not take long for the documents leaked to the Discord server to be shared on social media platforms. The leak, containing information from Ukraine, included hundreds of documents, 50 of which were classified as classified or top secret. The documents are believed to have leaked from the Pentagon.
The US Department of Defense has launched an investigation into the information leaked to the Minecraft server. Accordingly, the documents contain details about the weapons used by the Ukrainian army against Russia, battlefield losses, air defense systems and offensive capabilities.
The primary source of the leak is unknown. It’s also unclear why it was moved to the Minecraft Discord server. Mykhailo Podolyak, Advisor to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, thinks that the leaks were not carried out by Russia.
