Yes, the NSA managed to arrest him data thief with her help Kaspersky Lab: The NSA's outside partner spent 20 years illegally collecting documents and archives which contained confidential information.
According to one Publication of Politico, Harold Martin was arrested in 2016 when the information was leaked to Kaspersky Lab.
The data found its way to Russia through the company's antivirus, which detected it hacking NSA tools like malware. So as a decent antivirus he sent them to the Russian company.
Although the former NSA employee was arrested in 2016, he was convicted a year later for it theft confidential government documents and software. In early 2018, he said he intended to plead guilty to just one of the charges.
Kaspersky, meanwhile, has been described as persona non grata by US government which claims to act as a backdoor for the Kremlin. Kaspersky, of course, has denied all allegations in which it claims there is no public evidence.
Perhaps these latest revelations will help the security company return to US markets.
