Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard employee, was arrested by the FBI on charges of leaking highly sensitive Pentagon documents online. The alleged motive behind the leak appears to have been that he wanted to show off to and impress his friends and establish himself as an important figure in a small community of digital gamers. This differs from other cases of young people who compromised national security for noble reasons or in protest. Teixeira’s actions allegedly resulted from brainless bragging and narcissism, despite the damage he may have caused. While Teixeira has yet to be officially charged, he faces investigation and possible prosecution for the unauthorized removal and transmission of classified national defence information. The leaked documents referred to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and details of America's relationship with many of its allies around the world, including the UK, South Korea, Egypt, Israel, and the UAE. Despite discrepancies over exactly how many documents were leaked, there appears to be consensus that the damage caused is immense.
