Former U.S. National Security Agency Employee Sentenced to 22 Years in Prison for Trying to Pass Classified Information to ruZZia. - press service of the US Department of Justice

Former U.S. National Security Agency employee Jareh Dalkey has been sentenced to 22 years in prison on charges of attempting to spy for ruZZia. He handed over a total of seven classified documents to FBI agents posing as ruZZian agents.

Dalkey worked for the NSA as an information systems security designer. In the summer of 2022, he transmitted excerpts from three classified documents to an undercover FBI agent he believed to be a russian agent via an encrypted email account. According to the court, he did this "to demonstrate his awareness and willingness to share information."

In August 2022, Dalkey requested $85K for further information. As a result, he handed over to the FBI agent four classified files and a letter that began with the words "My friends!" in russian. In the letter, Dalkey expressed his joy that he was able to share classified information with the ruZZians, and hope for further cooperation.

Dalkey was detained in 2023 and found guilty on six counts. He pleaded guilty and said that he hoped that the information he passed on would be used against the United States and in the interests of Putinistan.
