    At this point, if you don’t have a dedicated intelligence officer camped out there, you’re not really trying. Gotta be careful though; they could turn them!

        This legitimately gets covered in security briefings. If you imply you know secret shit online, Intel agents will try to troll info out of you. It’s just a newer version of the old spy strategy of going to bars near sensitive sites and listening for drunk employees bragging about their access. Then the spy just goes “yeah right you are so full of shit” and a shocking number of people will just start spilling.

        Like, a person bragging about access is basically already violating security protocols and is basically 3/4 of the way to a leak.

          This actually makes me wonder if some of these might be intentional. Like, if spy agencies know that warthunder has a reputation for these kinds of leaks, and know rival agencies will look at leaked documents posted to communities for it, why not pose as a fool bragging about knowing secret stuff and leak intentionally fake documents about the capabilities of your equipment, to mislead whoever might be watching?
