War Thunder, a free online battle game developed by Gaijin Entertainment, has once again been embroiled in a controversy regarding a player leaking classified military information. A user on the War Thunder forum discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the CAPTOR-M and CAPTOR-E radar systems, and in support of their argument, posted a confidential file. The content was subsequently deleted by the administrators. This is not the first instance of sensitive information being leaked on this forum, as previously, details about the Challenger 2 tank and the Leclerc main battle tank were compromised.
The incident highlights the importance of forum moderators and administrators ensuring the security and integrity of user-generated content. Players and game developers must work together to maintain a secure and responsible online gaming environment.
