Personal Information leaks:

DNI’s Statement

“Earlier this afternoon, my personal information was uncovered by means of what is most commonly known as doxing. This included all of my media accounts, my full name, the full names of my parents, brothers, and other relatives, my full address, and the last two digits of an expired credit card. Following this, I changed all relevant passwords. Although the person who conducted these activities will remain anonymous, I would like to remind everyone that this type of issue is not uncommon and should not be treated as such. I do not, my staff does not, the Intelligence Community does not see the point in these kinds of activities. Even if its for “fun”, these types of activities can lead to actual jailtime and fines, varying by state. I would like to remind everyone to change your passwords frequently to avoid attacks such as this in the future. While you cannot prevent everything that comes your way, changing your passwords does help.”

“That being the case, the anonymous attacker set up a twitter account, using a pastebin-like website to release other officials’ personal info in NUSA, such as Lincere, SteffJonez, TheySinned and Nightgaladeld. Claiming to be an operation to “shut down NUSA”, the hope is that this anonymous individual’s twitter account will be deleted and this incident has been reported to real life authorities.”

The Intelligence Community’s Readiness for War

DNI’s Statement: Nominations, Meeting Schedules, Group Guide

After much work analyzing and surveying, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has determined that the Intelligence Community is as prepared for war as we can make it, should we have one.

Central Intelligence Agency:

• New leadership: Active and prepared. Already running foreign monitoring operations. Director DreadfulShadow has told me personally that his agency is ready and prepared for war.

National Security Agency:

• Director Kairoes is currently up for a DDNI nomination, but has stated to me that he is ready and willing to step in as NSA director when this is needed, and it would not take long to put out operations and trainings for the agency. The NSA is ready and prepared for war.

Federal Bureau of Investigation:

• The FBI is fully capable of springing into action under orders from AG Gshock2369, and we fully intend for it to do so. We believe the FBI is prepared for war.

Unfortunately, we have only had the past two days to get the IC set up. Most of the President’s nominees are either awaiting confirmation or awaiting committee vote. I urge the Senate to pass these nominees as quickly as you can. The Intelligence Community must have its’ leaders in place.

I’ll be releasing the U.S. Intelligence Community Guidelines document within the week. Stay tuned for it.

I thank you for reading this statement, and I hope it reaches you well rested.

— largeTitanic2, Director of National Intelligence
