ALPHV ransomware “gang” claims it pulled classified and top secret documents from U.S. intelligence agencies


I am aware that this specific news story probably means nothing to our community, given this information could pertain to literally anything. However, when I see headlines like this I start wondering if disclosure will be forced by some sort of hacking/leak/ransomware event rather than in a more controlled fashion through whistleblowers and slow drips of information.

I thought it was interesting in the JRE episode featuring Diana Walsh Pasulka that she theorized when asked “why now” regarding disclosure that it had something to do with China now having a space program. It got me thinking about the possibility of a foreign intelligence leak as well. Thoughts?
