Joshua Schulte, a former CIA hacker, was found guilty of stealing national defense information and then leaking it to WikiLeaks.
Schulte’s leak was dubbed Vault 7 by WikiLeaks, and a U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor Damian Williams called it on Wednesday “one of the most brazen and damaging acts of espionage in American history,” a leak that included “some of our most critical intelligence tools known to the public and, therefore, our adversaries.”
