The cache of information published by WikiLeaks, dubbed Vault 7, went online in several batches across 2017. It laid out many of the CIA’s cyber capabilities and methods. The leak was the largest data breach in the history of the CIA and among the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York said Thursday in a statement announcing the sentencing.
It “profoundly damaged the CIA’s ability to collect foreign intelligence against America’s adversaries,” put operatives in danger, damaged national security and cost the agency hundreds of millions of dollars, the prosecutors said.
Schulte, 35, was convicted in 2022 of crimes including illegal gathering and transmission of national defense information. He faced another trial relating to possessing thousands of child *** images and videos, discovered on his computer during an FBI investigation into the leak, and was convicted on those charges in September. His sentence, handed down by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman, is for all convictions.
