Fox News reports that Harold Martin, an NSA contractor, a Navy veteran, is expected to plead guilty today to stealing 50 terabytes of data found in his home along with dozens of computers and six full bankers\u2019 boxes worth of documents.<\/p>\n
According to the indictment, Martin was hired as a private contractor by at least seven companies and worked for multiple government agencies since 1993. His position granted him various security clearances and access to highly-sensitive government information, the indictment noted.<\/p>\n
At NSA, he worked at its hacking unit and took material that included most, if not all, of the agency\u2019s hacking tools \u2013 the same tools that later ended up on sale on the Internet by a group calling itself Shadow Brokers, The New York Times reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He was arrested in August 2016 while he was an employee of Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp, Edward Snowden’s employer.<\/p>\n
