Axios published a report on the role of video game forums in leaking highly classified military and intelligence secrets. The report, prepared by the site's journalist Stephen Totello, said that the recent leak of classified information affecting US national security from the Pentagon provides an experience for gamers.
On Jan. 15, one user posted the latest leak on the War Thunder forum, which includes secret documentation of the capabilities of the U.S.-made F-16 fighter jet. The leak was deleted the next day after another user questioned whether the leak violated a blanket ban imposed by Gaijen Entertainment.
