Summary
The UK Ministry of Defence is investigating after confidential military documents were found scattered on a Newcastle street.
The papers, linked to Catterick garrison regiments, contained details on soldier ranks, shift patterns, weapon issuance, and intruder detection systems.
A passerby discovered the documents spilling from a black bin bag on March 16. Some documents were marked “official – sensitive,” indicating potential moderate damage if disclosed.
The papers have been handed to Northumbria police, and the MoD is examining the security breach.
Stop, it’s not a competition to see who can do the dumbest intel leaks but if it were, we’ve already taken the gold, silver and bronze.
Warthunder forums IRL.
Should just lean into it and launch the Warthunder Discord, Signal group and anonymized TOR document upload services. Make them your one stop shop for moronic intel drops. Bonus points if they organize collections into DLC packages or sell individual random pages in the microtransaction store.
This just in: Russia is accusing the US of taking performance reducing drugs!
“There is no way they could have taken all three podium positions through natural ineptness” person close to Moscow messaged on Telegram group chat.
Representatives for the US team attempted to deny the allegation but, while searching for the press briefing room, were tragically lost in an industrial laundromat’s brief pressing room.
Decades ago this happened on my street with a local accounting company. Complete client files blowing up and down the street.
Given that client contact details were on the files, we contacted them directly. Suffice to say, they were not amused.
When the accountant opened three days later (long weekend), we handed over unidentified files. They didn’t seem to think it was a big deal.
Very glad they were not my accountants.
Always trying to one-up the US 😄
