CIA Vault7 Leaker To Be Charged For Leaking More Classified Data While in Prison (zdnet.com)
US prosecutors are preparing new charges against a former CIA coder who was indicted earlier this year in June for leaking classified CIA material to WikiLeaks, in what later become known as the Vault7 leaks. From a report: According to new court documents filed late Wednesday, October 31, US prosecutors plan to file three new charges against Joshua Schulte for allegedly leaking more classified data while in detention at the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Prosecutors say they first learned of Schulte's behavior back in May, when they found out that "Schulte had distributed the Protected Search Warrant Materials to his family members for purposes of dissemination to other third parties, including members of the media." The prosecution held a court hearing in May and initially warned the suspect about his actions, a warning they found Schulte ignored. The US government says that "in or about early October 2018, the Government learned that Schulte was using one or more smuggled contraband cellphones to communicate clandestinely with third parties outside of the MCC." A search of his housing unit performed by FBI agents revealed "multiple contraband cellphones (including at least one cellphone used by Schulte that is protected with significant encryption); approximately 13 email and social media accounts (including encrypted email accounts); and other electronic devices."
Good for him!
Great minds think alike; fools seldom differ.
Hopefully some soviets will do the same. May all those complicit in domestic spying and surveillance get what is coming to them while this man lives to see freedom and the rewards he rightly deserves for remaining loyal to The People of the United States of America.
Easily dumber or even dumbest. He is someone that worked for them, not some terrorist they might try to track, so he basically knows he will get caught.
This dude is a beast. I've been to prison. It's hard to get one phone in let alone multiple with good encryption. He is not working alone and whoever he's working with has skills.
I have a spy ring from a cereal box, does that make me a coder or an encryption expert? Serious question, I need to pad my CV...

So someone who literally has access to the CIAs treasure trove of exploits (vault7) somehow manages to not be able to cover his tracks with child porn? This smells of planted evidence either to obtain information already known but procured in a non admissible way or to do a character assassination. Don't get me wrong, its not that I don't believe someone in the CIA looks at kiddie porn. Its just that I don't believe they'd be so easily caught for it when idiots who know very little about computers hide this stuff.
One man's hero is another man's traitor. Guess where the highest concentration of smart TVs and iDevices is? Right here in the US. Anyone care to bet that the CIA wouldn't use this stuff for domestic spying, outside of their mandate and outside the law?
This kind of thing needs to be exposed and brought to light, just like MK-ULTRA and COINTELPRO needed to be outed in the 1970s. The leaker's main mistake was not going to a non-extradition country before starting to sing like a canary.
Fuck off Nazi.

How do you know what the fuck his motives are? Also: how very American of you to call for cruel and inhumane punishment.
