So yeah , It seems like a group associated with the NSA has been hacked "Equation-group" => http://fossbytes.com/nsa-hacked-by-shadow-brokers-equation-group/

The hacking group has leaked some private hacking tools and exploits. The hackers are also asking for 1 million bitcoin (about $568 million) in an auction to release all the files.

Here are my three scenarios :

this is very interesting indeed, to see NSA getting hacked! wow

Quote

1. Satoshi Nakamoto is NSA and he is going to pay the 1 million Bitcoin.

this is mostly funny than being a true scenario.
and why would satoshi nakamoto be NSA? what are your reasons for thinking that. if he were bitcoin would have had some backdoor in its code I assure you.

2. NSA will buy 1 million Bitcoin and give us a nice increase in the price.

and what makes you think they don't already own 1 million bitcoins? Grin

3. NSA won't do shit . (which is the thing likely to happen in this case)

I doubt that they even pay the hackers because of the bad publicity of it. NSA is not a small company (like that hospital that was hacked a while ago) to get hacked and pay the hackers to make it go away.
it is the freaking National Security Agency they can not just pay the hackers off Cheesy
