> F.B.I. investigators focused on Mr. Martin after getting a tip from Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity company. Two Kaspersky employees had gotten cryptic messages from Mr. Martin — calling himself “HAL999999999” — via Twitter that seemed to be offering secrets, as Politico first reported in January. The assistance was a bit ironic, because American intelligence officials have sometimes accused Kaspersky of being too close to Russian intelligence, charges the company denies.
via Twitter of all places...

- westpfelia 8y agoHonestly this is what makes me question the validity of it all. Twitter can be subpoena'd and will turn over data. So why would someone who aparently worked for the NSA's hacking unit basicaly ignore all OPSEC? I mean jeez. This guy was basically one step from personally signing his tweets offering the data.
