The Justice Department says a worker with high-level security clearance emailed sensitive files to a woman in private industry.
The indictment, unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, alleges that Mark R. Unkenholz, 60, who worked in an NSA office that engages with private industry, sent 13 unauthorized emails to the woman from February 2018 to June 2020, each containing “information relating to national defense” that was classified either “secret” or “top secret/SCI,” for sensitive compartmented information.
Unkenholz, of Hanover, Md., was arrested Thursday, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Maryland. He was charged with 13 counts each of willful transmission of national defense information and willful retention of national defense information. Federal court records did not indicate whether Unkenholz is represented by a lawyer.
The unidentified woman had a top secret/SCI clearance while working for a private company from about April 2016 to about June 2019, the indictment says, but from about July 2019 to about January 2021, while working for a different company, she “did not hold a security clearance.” Even when she did have a top secret/SCI clearance, authorities said, she was not authorized to receive the information that Unkenholz allegedly sent to her via her company email addresses.
