    A New York court found one of its former agents, hacker Joshua Shulte,
    guilty of one of the CIA's biggest leaks.

    The leak of 8,761 documents to the Wikileaks platform in 2017 revealed
    how US intelligence agents hacked smartphones abroad and turned them
    into listening devices.

    "Schulte was convicted of one of the most brazen and damaging acts of
    espionage in US history" said prosecutor Damian Williams.

    During the trial, the defendant blackeither (sic) the accusations.

    But who is Joshua Schulte?

    Well, it's on the borderline of "telecom" - but the guy looks like
    me. OMG, he actually /looks/ /like/ /me/.

    Or, at least a version of me in my twenties. I'm 70 now, and wondering
    how or when I missed my 15 minutes of fame. I know I shouldn't idolize
    a traitor, but these days, traitors get to have their own TV show or
    get elected President.

    Sigh. I'm getting old.
