A cyberspecialist who briefly worked at the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) was sentenced on April 29 to more than 21 years in prison for attempting to spy for Russia, the Justice Department said. Jareh Sebastian Dalke, 32, spent less than four weeks working at the NSA before he suddenly quit in June 2022. While at the NSA, Dalke printed out top secret documents and later offered them for sale for $85,000 to an individual he believed to be a Russian agent, according to court documents. He was actually dealing with an undercover FBI agent.
