Back then everything was done on punch cards and teletype paper so making illicit copies of classified materials was nearly impossible. These days it must be a security nightmare now that everything is transmitted electronically. You just can't achieve the same level of control over electronic media that you can with stamped and numbered hard copies.

That's certainly the mechanics of handling sensitive and classified information. For me, the Issue is what would make this kid essentially sell out his country, and for what. Reports suggest this kid did this to " Impress his little internet friends." His efforts have hurt another country ( The Ukraine ) which is fighting for it's freedom against an aggressor country. Other information he disseminated on the internet has hurt other countries and our standing with them. We may have our Issues with our Goverment but that doesn't mean you sell it out.
You, like many I have know in the military and our esteemed veterans here in Subsim would never, ever, for any reason, including money, sell out or undermine our country. Our U.S Government, like many Governments worldwide has it's share of Idiots. George Santos and as Neal and Budda pointed out, Rep Marjorie Taylor Green and Kevin McCarthy Immediately come to mind. The Walker Spy ring and Ronald Pelton also come to mind regarding betraying their country.
I just can't understand what would make someone betray or undermine their country.
