Then, last week, they switched to Russian Telegram channels, Twitter, and 4chan.
Who Is Jack Teixeria?
21 year old Jack Teixeira, an intelligence officer in the Massachusetts Air National Guard, has been named by The New York Times.
As a cyber transport systems specialist, Airman Teixeira was taught to perform a range of tasks, including maintaining the communication networks for his unit. According to an Air Force official, he was assigned to the 102nd Intelligence Wing at Otis Air National Guard Base, which is part of Joint Base Cape Cod.
The official Facebook page of the 102nd Intelligence Wing expressed its congratulations to Airman Teixeira and his coworkers on their July promotion to airmen first class.
Jack Teixeria reportedly managed the Thug Shakers Central secret Discord channel. According to the initial Washington Post report, the individual who posted the documents on that exclusive group was referred to by his or her peers as “OG.” The source acknowledged Teixeira’s military affiliation but withheld details about his specific position.
Other group members reportedly said that OG was not driven by politics or ideology. Additionally, they supported Teixeira and stated that they did not want the documents to be distributed outside of the Discord community, which is reported to consist of roughly twenty individuals.
According to a Pentagon spokesman, the revelations pose a “very serious risk to national security.” Rep. Bill Keating, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said, “Whoever leaked this information will and should face serious criminal charges. The FBI investigation is ongoing, and they haven’t officially named a suspect.”

According to Garland, Teixeria was arrested for “unauthorised removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defence information,” which falls under the Espionage Act, which prosecutes mishandling and theft of classified information.
Jack Teixeira’s stepfather, Thomas Dufault retired from the military in 2019 and according to The Washington Post, he had a 34-year military career as a master sergeant in the same unit as his son, the 102nd Intelligence Wing.

US troop in Ukraine fighting a war against Russia was NEVER authorized by Congress.
Biden does NOT have absolute, unconstrained warmaking authority.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 makes this an impeachable offense. #JackTeixeira is a hero for exposing this act of WAR pic.twitter.com/nQX67y5d75
