Another counterintelligence breach at the NSA

It’s happened again.

The Department of Justice on Thursday announced the arrest of 60-year-old Mark Robert Unkenholz of Hanover, Maryland. The National Security Agency employee faces 26 charges related to the willful transmission and retention of national defense information. These are relatively rare charges, and the DOJ has made no mention of espionage. Still, the Unkenholz affair shines a light, yet again, on security lapses at our biggest and best-funded spy agency.
