Jury finds former CIA programmer guilty of leaking CIA hacking materials
If he's guilty this is a more or less normal process. The real shocker is the stuff surrounding the leak in the article:It was one of the largest leaks of information in the history of CIA and a huge embarrassment for then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo, who responded by labeling WikiLeaks a "non-state hostile intelligence agency" and developing "secret war plans" against the media organization that included kidnapping or even killing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.Just so we are clear: if you are a member of an org, anywhere in the world, with no particular obligation to keep the CIA's secrets, but who's only mission is to make public CIA actions / capabilities, they may try to extra-judicially murder you.Real are we the baddies? vibes. If you work there, or for them as a contractor, please consider putting your abilities to more ethical use.
