FBI traps former NSA employee for attempting to spy for Russia
Oct 28, 2023
WASHINGTON D.C.: This week, the U.S. Justice Department said that Jareh Sebastian Dalke, a former U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) employee, pleaded guilty to six counts of attempting to transmit classified national defense information (NDI).
Dalke, 31, of Colorado Springs, admitted that between August and September 2022, he sent the NDI to someone he thought was a Russian agent but turned out to be an undercover FBI employee.
To demonstrate both his “legitimate access and willingness to share,” he used an encrypted email account to transmit excerpts of three classified documents to an individual he believed to be a Russian agent, the Justice Department added.
But prosecutors said that person was an FBI online covert employee.
