The latest US intelligence leak illustrates a paradox of spycraft: keeping secrets means limiting their distribution but protecting against dangers like another Sept. 11, 2001, attack means sharing them

But they cannot track co-workers' private online activities - for example, posting classified information to impress others.
Teixeira was first identified by the New York Times, which described him as the leader of an online chat group where he shared the secret documents with about 20 to 30 mostly younger people who discussed their love of guns and shared racist memes and video games.
