* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: Long before she crafted herself a costume and became ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} out of envy for the attention Wonder Woman gets Priscilla Rich was making a bit of extra money on the side by selling military secrets to Imperial Japan. She gained knowledge of said secrets by being friends with/blackmailing/terrorizing the wives of military officers who shared more than they should have with their spouses. She later terrified a mind reader into working for her, meaning that military wives didn't even need to say anything for Pris to steal information from them.

* The plot of ''ComicBook/BlackBishop'' is kicked off when the titular spy gets drunk one night and spills secrets of The Board to her random hook-up... who turns out to be a journalist. Said journalist writes about The Board in her paper and accidentally outs several of its operatives, resulting in their deaths. Desperate to fix the mess she created, Black Bishop tries to track down the other operatives to stop them from being killed.

* A bizarre meta example: a ''VideoGame/WarThunder'' player claiming to be a Challenger 2 tank commander [[https://www.pcgamer.com/war-thunder-fan-says-tank-is-inaccurate-leaks-classified-military-documents-to-prove-it/ leaked classified military manuals]] to prove that Gaijin had misrepresented the tank in-game as being weaker than it really was. Mere months later, [[https://www.pcgamer.com/war-thunder-fan-leaks-classified-military-documents-to-win-an-argument-about-tanksagain/ someone leaked the manual for the LeClerc tank]] to prove a similar point. Gaijin eventually had to beg people to stop posting classified secrets in a public forum for video games, out of a very justified fear that these confidential manuals would end up in unfriendly hands and that they would be on the hook for the consequences.

The plea didn't take, as [[https://videogames.si.com/news/war-thunder-military-secret-leaks-f-16 classified details about the F-16]] were leaked after the release of the 'modern jets' update, and a player in China leaked [[https://www.polygon.com/23152203/war-thunder-chinese-tank-weapon-leak-classified-military-secrets-forum confidential ammunition handling documents]] to prove that Gaijin had wrongly underpowered Chinese ammunition.

Because TechnologyMarchesOn, it's even easier than ever to get people killed by running your mouth off, thanks to websites such as Website/{{Twitter}}, Website/{{Facebook}}, Wiki/TVTropes, and [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} that other wiki]]. Always beware that when you talk about something that is privileged or secret, you might as well be standing on a rooftop with a big sign and a megaphone.
