Harold Martin996 Archives 52, a private contractor for the National Security Agency (NSA) and a former U.S. Navy lieutenant, was indicted Wednesday on 20 counts of stealing classified materials.
The indictment accuses Martin of stealing 20 years of data from multiple intelligence agencies, dating back to 1996 when he started working as a government contractor.
He was arrested in August at his home in Glen Burnie, Maryland but information about the arrest only came out in October.

Just what documents Martin had taken is unclear, but The Washington Postreported it may have been up to 50 terabytes of data. The stolen data, some taken while he was working at one point for Booz Allen Hamilton, may have included an NSA hacking toolset and a 2014 report about cyber intrusion techniques.
Booz Allen Hamilton is the same company that Edward Snowden worked for when he stole documents he leaked to journalists.

Martin, who went by Hal, has worked as a contractor for two decades and was deep in a Ph.D. program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, until his arrest last summer, according to his LinkedIn page. He describes himself as a programmer and scientist "trying to finish that dissertation...." He had submitted a paper to a 2014 conference titled, "Virtual Interfaces for Exploration of Heterogeneous & Cloud Computing Architectures."
Martin will be back in court on Valentine's Day. For each of those 20 counts he faces 10 years in prison.
