[I]nstead of charging Mr. Schulte in the breach, referred to as the Vault 7 leak, prosecutors charged him last August with possessing child pornography, saying agents had found 10,000 illicit images on a server he created as a business in 2009 while studying at the University of Texas at Austin.

Court papers quote messages from Mr. Schulte that suggest he was aware of the encrypted images of children being molested by adults on his computer, though he advised one user, “Just don’t put anything too illegal on there.”

The catch is that you can't be a whistleblower unless you had authorized access to the materials you disclosure or report on. In the case of Schulte, he unlawfully gained access to classified information he was not authorized to possess, and then channeled the classified materials to a third party. That's leaking, not whistleblowing.
