Somebody Is In Big Trouble

A highly sensitive military secret code has been leaked on the Internet:

Army investigators have started into a leak of secret military decryption codes on the Internet. A military source said Monday, a cryptographic code, a class-three military secret, was discovered on an Internet website. “We are tracking the leak and checking the accuracy of the document.”

Cryptographic codes are used to decipher encoded messages, and authorities are checking if the leaked code is currently in use by the military. If it is shared across the board, the armed forces would have to change the way they encrypt confidential communication.

The code was leaked on the Internet by using a picture of a document that contained an actual Army lieutenants name on the document with the code. Somebody is going to get in deep crap over this I’m sure. With UFL going on and so many new people on TDY here in Korea and the vast numbers of ROK Army soldiers on all the US camps, it will be extra difficult to trace who leaked the code.

The ROK's are notorious for not safeguarding COMSEC, even US-issued COMSEC. This doesn't surprise me the slightest bit.
