Federal contractor arrested
U.S. authorities arrested a federal contractor following the leak of a classified intelligence report that suggests that Russian hackers attacked an American voting software supplier ahead of the 2016 presidential election. The U.S. Justice Department charged Reality Leigh Winner, a government contractor, with mailing a classified report containing "Top Secret level" information to a news organization. The report she is accused of leaking has the same release date as a classified National Security Agency report posted online by The Intercept.
