Recall, on the eve of the New York Times newspaper, that the Pentagon was investigating a leak on the social network of classified documents describing the state of the Ukrainian army and the plans of the United States and NATO to strengthen it before the planned offensive. It was noted that as of Thursday evening, US authorities reportedly failed to remove these materials from the Internet.
“Yes, you can completely remove stuff from the web – it works great and doesn’t draw attention to what you’re trying to hide,” Musk replied on his Twitter account.
Many experts believe that US reports of alleged leaks of classified information are part of a targeted disinformation campaign. UK cybersecurity expert Colonel Philip Ingram noted that leaks of this type are extremely unusual, it is likely to be a deliberate stuffing.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reported on Friday that a new batch of classified US documents on Ukraine have surfaced online – more than 100 documents in all. Secret US documents on the Middle East and China have also appeared on social media, including Twitter.
