Trimbelle Leaks

The Trimbelle Leaks were a series of documents that were published to internet forums and subsequently reported by international media revealing details about the Zamastanian Intelligence Service's clandestine operations, including specifically the identities of 27 undercover agents in live operations in hostile countries. On October 1st, 2024, hackers breached a sensitive firewall within the servers of the Z.I.S., and posted tens of thousands of classified documents on forums, social media sites like FriendSpot and Owler, and videos on AllVidz.

Several agents whose identities were leaked were captured by the governments or groups they were surveilling. Two agents were killed: Elias Holman was executed by the Brotherhood of Kolkesburg, and Awni Nadim was executed by the Irsani network. Samir Oudah was arrested by the Behinian military and sentenced to death.

Within hours of the hack, ZIS director Adrian Sardou ordered agents out of live operations in hostile countries, and said that several foreign governments had sensitive information revealed to them regarding Zamastanian intelligence operations and vulnerabilities. Former ZIS director Kirk Faulkman described it as a huge strategic setback that was harming Zamastan and its WEDA allies.

Disclosures

Agent identities

• Elias Holman: Cpt. Holman had been embedded with the Brotherhood of Kolkesburg since 2020, under the alias of Alexandru Vicol. Zamastanian intelligence and WEDA allies had garnered significant knowledge from Holman's espionage, as he gained close access to the organization's leadership and Naum Pavlavain. When his identity was leaked on October 1st, Pavlavain's lieutenants ordered his killing. Holman was bound and blindfolded, hauled in a truck to the outskirts of Kolkesburg, and shot execution style. The video of his execution was published on AllVidz.
• Awni Nadim:
• Samir Oudah: Oudah had been embedded within the Behinian military since 2012 and at the time of his discovery was a ranking official with significant security clearance in Behinia's intelligence agency. He was detained by the Behinian military police, paraded before state media, and placed in custody. He was sentenced to death in a military tribunal which lasted twenty minutes. Prime Minister Mohamed al-Albisi said "we will show justice in all regard." After Oudah's arrest, anti-Zamastan protests broke out across Behinia, with effigies of president Arthur Davidson and flags of Zamastan being burned in Sannar and Kosti.
