The Department of Defense has begun restricting access to classified information in light of a massive leak, though the effort is expected to take a while.
Hundreds of classified documents were released over a matter of months, and while a suspect was arrested last week, the news of the leak has prompted the department to review its policies and regulations regarding classified information.“What I can say is that we are [going] through some of our distribution lists and who has access to certain information. That effort is going to be ongoing.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin directed Ronald Moultrie, undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security, to lead the review process on Thursday, and said he “will also not hesitate to take any additional measures necessary to safeguard our nation’s secrets." "We are also taking a close look at security protocols and procedures and assessing whether or not they need to be changed," National Security Council coordinator John Kirby told reporters."At the president's direction, he has tasked his team to conduct a thorough, comprehensive review of departmental security programs, policies, and procedures. Similar work is also being done across the intelligence community to further examine security protocols and practices.
