Sadly here on Whidbey Island we have our own version of Jack Teixiara. A former Navy NCO with a security clearance named Sarah Bils, who posted altered classified documents under the name Donbass Devushka (Donbas Woman) on pro Russian Telegram sites.

Social-Media Account Overseen by Former Navy Noncommissioned Officer Helped Spread Secrets By Yaroslav Trofimov A social-media account overseen by a former U.S. Navy noncommissioned officer—a prominent online voice supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine—played a key role in the spread of intelligence documents allegedly leaked by Airman First Class Jack Teixeira, reposting files from obscure online chat rooms. A purported Russian blogger known as Donbass Devushka, which translates as Donbas Girl, is the face of a network of pro-Kremlin social-media, podcasting, merchandise and fundraising accounts. But the person who hosted podcasts as Donbass Devushka and oversees these accounts is a Washington-state-based former U.S. enlisted aviation electronics technician whose real name is Sarah Bils.

In an interview Saturday at her home in Oak Harbor, Wash., Ms. Bils said she is an administrator of the Donbass Devushka persona, and acknowledged raising funds and hosting podcasts under that name. She added, however, that she is one of 15 people “all over the world” involved in running the Donbass Devushka network. Ms. Bils declined to identify these people. On April 5, the Donbass Devushka Telegram account posted four of the allegedly leaked classified documents to its 65,000 followers, according to a screenshot seen by The Wall Street Journal. That led several large Russian social-media accounts to pick up on the documents, after which the Pentagon launched an investigation. Ms. Bils says another administrator posted the four files.

It seems that there are way too many people in the US military with Classified Security Clearances. People with no need to know the sensitive information in the classified documents that they are being granted access to. The Pentagon has gotten sloppy.
