NYT: Suspect Identified in Leak of C.I.A. Hacking Documents
After the biggest loss of classified information in C.I.A. history last year, The Times has learned the suspect’s identity. He’s been charged, but for child pornography, not for the breach.
Last year, someone leaked a trove of classified documents detailing how the CIA led hacking operations that could completely take over iPhones and turn smart televisions into surveillance cameras. The NYT has learned the identity of the primary suspect. James A. Schulte is a former CIA software engineer who specialized in developing malware that could break into phones and computers belonging to terrorism suspects.
