According to this article, it describes that a former National Security Agency employee named Nghia Hoang Pho pleaded guilty on Friday to Illegally talking classified documents home which were later stolen by Russian hackers. The article also mentions that according to authorities, the Kaspersky Labs’ antivirus software was allegedly used which is another way for Russian hackers to steal top secret NSA document and hacking exploits from Pho’s PC in 2015.

Will follow up this story in April…
Shi Yu,
This is an individual action of someone who is either careless or who doesn’t know what he is doing. his action shows there are government policies that need to be changed and obligate employees to be careful with such sensitive files.
This is a very educative article that I am sure it will teach a lesson to so many people the consequences of taking government documents home.
It is definitely an interesting read. I wonder what was the motivation of the NSA employee to take the classified documents.
