A cyber specialist who briefly worked at the top secret US National Security Agency (NSA) was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison on Monday for attempting to spy for Russia, the Justice Department said.

Jareh Sebastian Dalke, 32, spent less than four weeks working at the NSA, the US government’s huge and powerful signals intelligence agency, before he suddenly quit, citing family problems at the end of June 2022.
