Reuters said the documents came from a number of government agencies, including the NSA, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the U.S. Army Cyber Command and the U.S. National Reconnaissance Agency. It is reported that Martin will face up to 10 years in prison for the theft of 50TB of confidential data.
