WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States may reportedly alter its intelligence agencies’ internet monitoring efforts after they failed for weeks to detect dozens of seemingly classified documents leaked online.
US intelligence agencies are looking at broadening a set of online sites that authorities track, US media reported, citing a senior administration official and a congressional official briefed on the matter.
The leaked materials, the veracity of which has not been confirmed by US officials, first appeared on Discord, a platform popular with gamers.
The intelligence community allegedly is seeking a way to search platforms like Discord for relevant materials to avoid future leaks.
