What happens when America's most closely guarded secrets fall into the wrong hands?
In this episode of Secret Squirrel Files, Phoebe tells the incredible story of the USS Pueblo, a U.S. Navy intelligence ship captured by North Korea in 1968. With thousands of classified documents onboard and only minutes to destroy them, the crew faced impossible choices before spending nearly a year as prisoners of war.
Then Katie explores one of the most consequential insider threat cases in modern history: Chelsea Manning. From Iraq to WikiLeaks, discover how one intelligence analyst's decision to leak hundreds of thousands of classified documents reshaped government cybersecurity, insider threat programs, and the way classified information is protected today.
From Cold War espionage to the digital age, this episode examines two moments that forever changed American intelligence.
