Discord Leaker Jack Teixeira Receives 15-Year Sentence for Major U.S. Secrets Breach

Jack Teixeira, a former low-level computer technician, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for leaking top-secret US defense documents on Discord, marking one of the most significant leaks in US history. Despite warnings, Teixeira continued to access and share confidential information, which eventually spread widely across various platforms. The FBI and DOJ emphasize the severity of his actions and hope the sentence serves as a deterrent to future leaks, highlighting the importance of safeguarding national security information.
