Hackers Claim To Be Selling NSA Cyberweapons In Online Auction (dailydot.com)

A group of hackers identifying themselves as theShadow Brokers claims to have hacked the NSA's Equation Group


...a team of NSA American hackers that have been described as both "omnipotent" and "the most advanced" threat cyberspace has ever seen.

 On the Shadow Brokers' website, the group has shared a sample of
data that some cybersecurity experts say lends credibility to the breach. 

The the hackers' asking price for what they claim is a cache of NSA-built cyberweapons. Motherboard's take on this is here.

So let me get this right, a team of omnipotent, "the most advanced threat" have been hacked and their house ransacked?


If this is so, then logic would bring up the question, were they really all that advanced?

Think about it, they can't even keep their own doors closed.
 
This puts them on a par with everyone who has ever said to you, "Just trust me."

Therefore, perhaps what was taken and put out for sale may not be as good as the prices being asked for it.

Just saying.

You really would think that anyone who is a great hacker and can get into anyone's system would know how to prevent others from getting into their own system wouldn't you?

"Hey Sam did you lock the doors before we left?"

OH doh!
