You know, unless you think the eglin air force base were just superfans of reddit. That’s just reddit, now imagine more important platforms.
Some operations are more careful than others and I’m sure lessons have been learned since 2013. Meanwhile you think somehow China’s and Russia’s operations are more sophisticated because your media uncovers them?
