- firesteelrain 1y agoThat is not a breach. That’s a leak. If true then he spilled secrets. I don’t know what is and isn’t secret in his communications. Everyone is just assuming it was.
- op00to 1y agoWe do know what was said in at least one chat. Tactical battle information including timing and sequencing. Highly protected information, and a federal crime to disclose. What’s the difference between a breach, a leak, and a spill? It seems like you’re the one reaching here.

This method creates a literal "air gap" between the secured network and any other unsecured networks. Air gaps are an isolation method crucial for data integrity and security and can be deployed across various industries.” https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/what-is-air-gap https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/what-is-air... What part of what he communicated is classified and what is everyone basing that on? What says it is ?

- firesteelrain 1y agoI don’t respond to that. What did you read?
- op00to 1y agoI’m not doing your homework for you. If you’re asking these questions you’re either sea lioning or incredibly lazy. A short google will tell you exactly what occurred.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> What’s the difference between a breach, a leak, and a spill? A breach is when security measures are bypassed and a leak is when information is given to someone who should not have it (a spill is a leak). If he was using an insecure connection for sensitive communications, then the “breach” would be his decision to do that while accidentally including the wrong people in the chat and the “leak” would be Jeffrey Goldberg receiving the messages. (Just answering the question. They were correct in a very literal way but it seems a bit pedantic. The overall point is moot given what we know.)

- firesteelrain 1y agoI can’t judge what is and isn’t classified other than it just looks bad optic-wise. I am not an expert in those communications.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y ago> This is a US topic. Why are you here? I don’t speak for them but one might guess that it’s because this is a public forum and they find the topic interesting. Why are you here?

- tomrod 1y agoAt no point should anything semantically in the neighborhood of a breach or a leak be caused by the person who is #2 over a military. Full stop. There is no further argument.
