A federal contractor was arrested over the weekend and accused of leaking a classified report containing “Top Secret level” information on Russian hacking efforts during the 2016 presidential election.

Reality Leigh Winner, 25, appeared in U.S. District Court in Augusta, Ga., to face one charge of removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet, the Justice Department said Monday.

 

Absolutely petrified. Everyone else was standing at the top of this 100+ft structure but the wind was scaring me. It was a long climb down. I’m going to conquer this fear someday!

Winner’s arrest was announced shortly after the Intercept website published a story detailing how Russian hackers attacked at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent so-called “spear-phishing” emails to more than 100 local election officials at the end of October or beginning of November.
