NSA Insider Admits Attempted Espionage
Former NSA employee, Jareh Sebastian Dalke, pleaded guilty to six counts of attempting to transmit classified National Defense Information (NDI) to a person he believed to be a Russian agent. Dalke used an encrypted email account to send excerpts of three classified documents and requested $85,000 in return for more information. He later transferred additional classified files to the purported agent at Union Station in Denver. Dalke faces a maximum penalty of life in prison and will be sentenced on April 26, 2024.
