Shawn Carpenter a former network intrusion analyst at Sandia National Laboratories says he was intimated and threatened by his supervisors after he shared information from an internal network investigation with the FBI and Army intelligence. Carpenter was fired from Sandia in Jan 2005 because of what Sandia claimed was his improper sharing of confidential information. Carpenter, says he did so in the national interest, after his back-hacking activities showed that the intruders who had broken into Sandia belonged to a Chinese hacker group called Titan Rain that had carried out similar attacks against other government and commercial networks. He recently was awarded $4.3 million for wrongful termination by a New Mexico jury.
