32-year-old National Security Agency information systems security developer Jareh Sebastian Dalke received 22 years in prison for trying to sell secret information to a “Russian spy.”

The “Russian spy” himself turned out to be an FBI agent, says Gizmodo.

The guy started working at the National Security Agency in 2022.

The National Security Agency is engaged in cryptological intelligence. It is part of the US Department of Defense and is responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign intelligence information and for the protection of US government information systems and computer networks.

In the same year, a “Russian spy” contacted him. According to the Department of Justice, on August 26, 2022, Dalke asked for $85 thousand

for classified information

Dalke sent portions of the documents via encrypted email. After that, he asked to send him the crypt – through the Kraken crypto exchange and in his real name.< /p> Online intensive “How to create a recommendation model in 2 days” by robot_dreams.

He also printed out three secret documents from his work account that he was going to transfer. Naturally, his real name could also be seen in the internal system of the National Security Agency. This allowed him identify without much effort.

American loans and Russian blood

The specialist admitted his guilt and said that he had large debts. Court documents showed that Dalke declared bankruptcy back in 2017. At the time, he owed about $90,000 to various creditors, including $30,000 in student loans.

Generally, high security clearances are not issued to people with large debts. This makes them more prone to risky behavior.

But given the fact that last year the average American had $21,800 in personal debt excluding mortgages , it may be increasingly difficult to find workers for such specific tasks

But it's probably not just about the money. Dalke admitted in court that there were Russians in his family tree. And he was interested in working for the intelligence services because of “an interest in secrets and a desire to change something.”
