Sweden Security Adviser Resigns Over Undisclosed Photos

Tobias Thyberg resigned as Sweden's national security adviser just hours after his appointment, following revelations of sexual photos from a past Grindr account that he failed to disclose during security vetting. The images were sent anonymously to the government and came to light after media inquiries, prompting Thyberg to acknowledge his omission and withdraw from the post. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson called the situation a systemic failure in security clearance, especially since Thyberg previously held classified roles. Intelligence experts warned that such compromising material could be used by foreign agencies for blackmail. Thyberg's resignation comes shortly after his predecessor, Henrik Landerholm, left the role due to charges of negligent handling of classified information. The incident has intensified scrutiny of Sweden's security vetting processes.
