How were these documents obtained, and how many more will be leaked? 

From The Japan Times. A new batch of classified documents that appear to detail U.S. national security secrets from Ukraine to the Middle East to China surfaced on social media sites Friday, alarming the Pentagon and adding turmoil to a situation that seemed to have caught the Biden administration off guard.

The scale of the leak — analysts say more than 100 documents may have been obtained — along with the sensitivity of the documents themselves, could be hugely damaging, U.S. officials said. …

The latest documents were found on Twitter and other sites Friday, a day after senior Biden administration officials said they were investigating a potential leak of classified Ukrainian war plans, include an alarming assessment of Ukraine’s faltering air defense capabilities. One slide, dated Feb. 23, is labeled “Secret/NoForn,” meaning it was not meant to be shared with foreign countries.

Mick Mulroy, a former senior Pentagon official, said the leak of the classified documents represents “a significant breach in security” that could hinder Ukrainian military planning. …

One analyst described what has emerged so far as the “tip of the iceberg.”

Early Friday, senior national security officials dealing with the initial leak, which was first reported by The New York Times, said a new worry had arisen: Was that information the only intelligence that was leaked?

By Friday afternoon, they had their answer. Even as officials at the Pentagon and national security agencies were investigating the source of documents that had appeared on Twitter and on Telegram, another surfaced on 4chan, an anonymous, fringe message board. The 4chan document is a map that purports to show the status of the war in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, the scene of a fierce, months long battle.

But the leaked documents appear to go well beyond highly classified material on Ukraine war plans. Security analysts who have reviewed the documents tumbling onto social media sites say the increasing trove also includes sensitive briefing slides on China, the Indo-Pacific military theater, the Middle East and terrorism.

The Pentagon said in a statement Thursday that the Defense Department was looking into the matter. On Friday, as the disclosures widened, department officials said they had nothing to add. But privately, officials in several national security agencies acknowledged both a rush to find the source of the leaks and a potential for what one official said could be a steady drip of classified information posted on sites. …

On Friday, Ukrainian officials and pro-war Russian bloggers suggested the leak was part of a disinformation effort by the other side, timed to influence Ukraine’s possible spring offensive to reclaim territory in the east and the south of the country. …

The first tranche of documents appeared to have been posted in early March on Discord, a social media chat platform popular with video gamers, according to Aric Toler, an analyst at Bellingcat, the Dutch investigative site. …

Jonathan Teubner, CEO of FilterLabs AI, which tracks messaging in Russia, said that while pro-Kremlin voices were saying the leak was an American or Ukrainian disinformation campaign, his lead analyst thought it could be a Russian operation meant to sow distrust between the U.S. and Ukraine. …

I pray that these leaks are traced back to the source. As I always hear said “Follow the money” as the scripture says – the love of money is the root of all evil. I am calling for your heavenly protection IJN

I pray for God’s will to be done on earth. The U. S. is in an undeclared war against Russia. The American people should not be oblivious to that. The Biden Administration wanted this war, war hawks in Congress wanted this war, and people in war industries wanted this war. Americans are footing the bill with soldiers, equipment, and billions of dollars.
We the People should know that, but without the leaked documents we wouldn’t/couldn’t know. Expose the unrighteous deeds of the wealthy powerful war mongers.

I pray for the end of this needless war. People are dying because wealthy, powerful men want to fight over something they don’t need. God has given the earth plenty for everyone, but they who believe their wealth gives them power over the rest of us want more.
Father God stop the senseless killing of innocent people everywhere, not just Ukraine but Chicago, China, Israel, San Francisco, etc. by drug cartels, armies, secret police and all of your enemies.
In Jesus name. Amen

Almighty LORD, You knew exactly who Judas Iscariot was, everything he was thinking and desiring, and what he would do, and when.
You know who the Judas Iscariot is in this matter too. You know who is doing this. You know where the corrupt, evil traitor is, and You are more than able to deal with that person.
LORD, do it. Deal with this treacherous, perverse, wicked-hearted person — or persons — and put a stop to this activity, and punish the guilty, be it ever so severely.
Have mercy on our nation. Please forgive us. We know we have sinned. And we are in desperate need of Your protection now. Have mercy on our children and grandchildren. And please turn our hearts back to You right now — because the dark powers now arrayed against us are way too much for us. We look only to You, and we wait.

we stand on your Word, Lord! Isaiah 54:17 says “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement Thou shall condemn!”

again in your word it states (Psalm 91:1) He that dwells in the secret place shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty.”
