Re-read yours... The "if he has knowledge, someone leaked NATIONAL SECURITY SECRETS to him" is probably inaccurate for a couple of reasons.
First, I'm pretty sure he still has his clearance, so... no CRIME there.
Second, anyone who says they know who did it is likely full of it. The general rule of thumb I use is "if it looks like X, it's probably not X". And yeah, Vault 7.
Finally, I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the possibility of an insider doing this. It would be the simplest vector, and that would explain why it went unnoticed for like 9 months...
That's not how things work, especially with a breach of this magnitude. It's been forensically torn apart, we know how it works, the domain it was using for command and control was taken over by Godaddy and Microsoft (and neutralized).
This is so everyone can begin to search for indicators of compromise and get to patching or rebuilding their systems.
Since this likely happened back in March, it was on Krebs watch. It may have been the reason he was fired, since you can be sure the NSA knew about this hole before anyone else.
Who knows, the breach could have been one of ours.
Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.
Behind the scenes: A top Biden official was unaware of the directive. Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved.
Why it matters: Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration.
What happened: Meetings between President Trump's team and the Biden team are going on throughout the government, after a delayed start as the administration dragged its feet on officially recognizing Biden as president-elect.
Then on Thursday night, Miller — who was appointed Nov. 9, when Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper right after the election — ordered officials throughout the building to cancel scheduled transition meetings. Pentagon official response: A senior Defense Department official sought to downplay the move, calling it "a simple delay of the last few scheduled meetings until after the new year."
"We had fewer than two dozen remaining meetings on the schedule today and next week," the official said, adding that "the DoD staff working the meetings were overwhelmed by the number of meetings." "These same senior leaders needed to do their day jobs and were being consumed by transition activities. ... With the holidays we are taking a knee for two weeks. We are still committed to a productive transition."
That's not quite how it works. If you're really interested:

And a lot of communications will end up being ad-hoc especially if this purge continues.
For test messaging Signal is good. For email, protonmail is good. Group chats telegram perhaps.
