Harold T. Martin III

Harold T. Martin III (born November 1964) is a former contractor for Booz Allen Hamilton who has been accused of stealing 50 Terabytes of data from the National Security Agency (NSA).[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The New York Times reported that the NSA had apparently failed to note or effectively respond to a number of issues with Martin's security practices and behaviors over a period of ten to twenty years.[7]

Investigators failed to link Martin with any unauthorized disclosure of classified information, and it is suggested that he was "no Edward Snowden", and that his behavior is an example of compulsive hoarding.[8]
