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
even they pay the hacker doesn't guarantee that the hacker won't delete the files or even they'll keep it up to do another hacking,paying the hackers mean NSA supporting the hacker to keep up with their shady activities and it's not good at all,the hackers will buy more advanced tools to hack like a good specification computer or even making a group with the money
