Abstract

By day, 21-year-old Jack Teixeira was a Massachusetts Air National Guard Member working on IT issues at Otis Air National Guard Base (Lamothe and Harris 2023). By night, he was the moderator of a racist, misogynistic, antisemitic Discord server threatening mass violence against marginalized communities and law enforcement officials (Harris and Oakford 2023). Notably, these two lives were not completely separate; on base, Teixeira’s colleagues feared that he was showing signs of becoming a mass shooter (Lamothe and Harris 2023). However, when the airman was finally arrested it was for another form of insider threat: classified leaks.
