In April 2023, Jack Teixeira hit major headlines after he was arrested over a leak of classified military intelligence that has rattled the US and its allies.
He was arrested on Thursday, April 13 by the FBI at his family home in Massachusetts, and has been identified as the leader of an online chat group where the documents first emerged.
He was arrested in connection with the leak of dozens of highly classified documents containing an array of national security secrets, including the breadth of surveillance the United States is able to conduct on Russia.
According to reports; the classified documents included briefing slides mapping out Ukrainian vulnerabilities and military positions, as well as information on the circumstances where Vladimir Putin might use nuclear weapons.
Information about allies including Israel, South Korea, and Turkey was also included, in what is believed to be the most serious security breach since 700,000 documents, videos, and diplomatic cables appeared on WikiLeaks back in 2010.
The classified documents was shared on a chat group called “Thug Shaker Central”, which was formed on Discord during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teixeira oversaw an online chat room made up mainly of male teenagers, with whom he had allegedly been sharing top-secret information for months.
It was not until intelligence material was posted outside the chat room group that Pentagon officials became aware of the leak, prompting a massive search for the culprit.
