I would not convict if I was in the jury, at least from what I have read in the news.
The computer wasn't secured, but the Linux partition could only be accessed by physically restarting the computer, hitting F9 as it reboots, and typing in the password intel1988. You would need to physically be there to pull it off.

I agree. Certainly, such a stunt is within the realm of a nation state. It just takes a keylogger, a technician and a lookout.
