One of the most damaging acts of espionage was committed by a computer programmer who helped design some of the CIA's most sensitive hacking tools.
The man walked across the seal of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Nicholas Biase is a spokesman for the US Attorney's office in New York.
According to prosecutors, he leaked the documents to Wikileaks because he was angry with the CIA for not taking his complaints seriously.
There wasn't enough evidence to prove he leaked the documents, and the CIA was trying to frame him for the incident even though other staffers had access to the information, according to a report.
Forbes reached out to an attorney for comments.
The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York said that when Schulte began to harbor resentment toward the CIA, he covertly collected those tools and gave them to the public. One of the most damaging acts of espionage in American history has been found guilty by a jury today.
The judge declared a mistrial after jurors couldn't reach a verdict on most of the charges.
According to agents, they discovered evidence during a search of his computer. He has denied the charges.
An elite CIA team made programs that could break into the phones and computers of U.S. adversaries. According to a June New Yorker article, Schulte grew frustrated with the CIA due to disagreements with his colleagues, who conducted their spy movie-esque work in an environment comparable to a frat. It was an embarrassment for the CIA that some of its programs were rendered useless by the leak of information on the secretive cyber tools designed by the team.
There is a real case of a hacker's revenge.
