Jack Teixeira gets arrested for intel leaks.

Jack Teixeira. On Thursday, the 21-year-old U.S. Air National Guardsman was arrested by the FBI for allegedly leaking classified military documents in what is believed to be the most serious security breach since the publication of more than 700,000 documents by WikiLeaks in 2010. Federal agents arrested Teixeira at his home in Massachusetts. The arrest came just a week after the leaks became widely circulated online, but months after Teixeira allegedly first shared them with an online chat group he was a member of. Among other things, the documents detailed U.S. intelligence spying on allies and an unfiltered view of Ukraine's military capabilities.
