They (NSA) also allegedly left a back door in Microsoft computers running the secure boot firmware that was found by a security annalist.  I also read it might also affect some full disk encryption programs. The worst part is they can't close it. If you own a MS phone or tablet Secure boot can't be disabled leaving you vulnerable to attack.

If the hackers were after money they would have sold these tools already to the highest bidder. With each passing day they are worth less and less.  It's more likely this was a warning to the US government to back the fuck off. ("We have your toys and if we release them everyone will know you've been attacking your own citizens and allies with these tools. So back the fuck off or else! ")
