Canadian Spy Shared Allied Information

For five years, Lieutenant Jeffrey Delisle gave secret information to the Russians, and it all began when he found out his wife was cheating on him.

Delisle was a Canadian naval intelligence analyst who had access to the top secret "Stone Ghost" system, where Canada, the US, UK, New Zealand, and Australia share naval intel.

When he found out about his wife, he went to the Russian embassy and offered to share information in exchange for three thousand dollars a month.

He shared the information by copying the information to a floppy disk, which he then transfered to a memory stick, that he would take home. Once home he loaded the information onto a private email account, where he saved it as a draft. His Russian handler would then log in to the email and take the information.

It is unclear what all information he gave the Russians, but that it was five years worth of information suggests that there very likely is some extremely crucial information.

Upon being caught, earlier this month, Delisle confessed everything and pleaded guilty, meaning there will be no trial.
