I guarantee these people are are under surveillance. The FBI likely knows a lot more than WaPo reports. Part of the process is to make sure you get everyone and get your arms around the entire leak.
I'm just impressed at the lack of control the DoD has over such sensitive information. It's incredible that this went on for so long. It does not leave me with a lot of confidence that they are competent enough to protect Americas secrets.
- dmix 4y agoLaw enforcement/IC always moves slower in these sorts of things than journalism. Often because the FBI/spies prefer reading their emails and catching them surreptitiously before making overt plays, since they already know the latter will remain a sure thing if they wanted. At least until they get forced to play their hands by journos and public pressure. Or maybe they did already and the friends are privy to it. Or just as likely we over value the competence of government workers.
- jonny_eh 4y agoAfter all that has transpired you think they're secretly on top of this?
- conradev 4y agoI would imagine that the FBI can get the logs of that entire Discord, no?
- jonny_eh 4y agoThey can ask nicely
- kadoban 4y agoThey can do far more than ask nicely. At a minimum, they can get a warrant and/or use provisions of the Patriot Act and similar. And for this it's likely warranted. Even discussing this in the future tense is a bit weird, there's no way they don't _already_ have everything Discord does.
- speedgoose 4y agoUSA has laws such as the cloud act or patriot act for that, so I would expect them to be able to get the data or to become very upset and make sure that they will never lack data from discord anymore.
