It has happened for DCS in the past.
The real reason this is always happening for Warthunder is because it's being sensationalized by the media and what's happening is being massively misrepresented.
Every time one of these articles comes out for like the last 6 months at least the "leaked classified documents" have already been available online for _years_. But someone posts these easily findable documents on the Warthunder forums and suddenly the leak originates from the Warthunder forums because it makes a good article title.
One of the more recent "leaks" was just someone posting this easily purchasable flight manual: https://www.flight-manuals-online.com/product/eurofighter-ty...
Has it happened in DCS in the past? I know of the instance where an Eagle Dynamics employee got nabbed due to possessing documents but I don't know of an instance where a community member has posted docs publicly.
ED has clamped down on it. Now if you post something and can't prove it's from an unlimited distribution source BigNewey will delete your post pretty much immediately. I typically see that stuff on community Discords where the volunteer mods have a longer reaction time.
