A former National Security Agency contractor accused of the largest security breach in US intelligence history is expected to plead guilty

Harold"Hal" Martin, 54, had worked for 23 years as a contractor for companies that contracted with various intelligence agencies and maintained a government clearance throughout his career.Prosecutors described him as a hoarder who took home a whopping 50 terabytes of files, including a number of classified ones he stored on drives in his home and car. They have not publicly accused him of trying to leak that information.

While Martin is accused of being the most prolific of them, the NSA has experienced a number"insider threats" in recent years, in which agency employees and contractors have violated classification laws to remove agency files.In 2014, Edward Snowden, who like Martin did NSA work through consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, famously stole more than a million pages of NSA documents which he gave to a handful of journalists in the name of exposing programs that exploited privacy.
