An outside NSA associate is accused by US prosecutors of collecting dozens of hard-data hard drives from the service for over two decades.
The NSA's foreign intelligence partner, Mr. Harold T. Martin III, is also charged with the theft thousands of highly classified documents, computers and more Appliances storage during his cooperation with the service. 
At present it is not known exactly what Martin was supposed to have stolen, but a publication by them New York Times on Wednesday reports that the hacking εργαλεία που διέρρευσαν recently και χρησιμοποιούνταν από τον οργανισμό για τη διεξαγωγή παρακολουθήσεων ήταν μεταξύ των κλεμμένων cache των αρχείων.
Prosecutors accused Martin on Friday of violating the law on espionage. If convicted, he could face up to 10 years of imprisonment for each category.
The categories, (reported for the first time by The Washington Post), outline a much deeper and more serious case than a felony of simple theft or a misdemeanor of removing and retaining classified information.
According to the Post, citing a note from U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, the NSA external partner is "a high risk to flights, a risk to the nation, and to the physical integrity of others."
The note said that if he remains free he will “be able to access important information of high grade, which he could easily spread to others”.
Until today, there has not been any official state announcement that sheds light on the US intelligence violation case.
