NSA Hacked
https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/08/15/agency_logo00174.png
Equation Group, a hacker group backed by National Security Agency has been hacked. Thousands of sophisticated security softwares are on sale. It is not yet clear whether hackers are asking for 1 million BTC or 1 million USD in BTC. But, they are providing a chunk of hacked materials for free to prove legitimacy.

Are you serious?
Sources seem to be legitimate. But, English does not seem to be the native language of the hackers. Pretty difficult to decipher what they are trying to say...

There must be pretty interesting stuff. If it goes out, it will help to increase IT security and will disable NSA for a while. I'd definitely like to explore what they have.
