Auction Instructions
We auction best files to highest bidder. Auction files better than stuxnet. Auction files better than free files we already give you. The party which sends most bitcoins to address: 19BY2XCgbDe6WtTVbTyzM9eR3LYr6VitWK before bidding stops is winner, we tell how to decrypt. Very important!!! When you send bitcoin you add additional output to transaction. You add OP_Return output. In Op_Return output you put your (bidder) contact info. We suggest use bitmessage or I2P-bote email address.

Closing Remarks
!!! Attention Wealthy Elites !!!
We have final message for "Wealthy Elites". We know what is wealthy but what is Elites? Elites is making laws protect self and friends, lie and fuck other peoples. Elites is breaking laws, regular peoples go to jail, life ruin, family ruin, but not Elites. Elites is breaking laws, many peoples know Elites guilty, Elites call top friends at law enforcement and government agencies, offer bribes, make promise future handjobs, (but no blowjobs). Elites top friends announce, no law broken, no crime commit. Reporters (not call journalist) make living say write only nice things about Elites, convince dumb cattle, is just politics, everything is awesome, check out our ads and our prostitutes. Then Elites runs for president. Why run for president when already control country like dictatorship? What this have do with fun Cyber Weapons Auction? We want make sure Wealthy Elite recognizes the danger cyber weapons, this message, our auction, poses to their wealth and control. Let us spell out for Elites. Your wealth and control depends on electronic data. You see what "Equation Group" can do. You see what cryptolockers and stuxnet can do. You see free files we give for free. You see attacks on banks and SWIFT in news. Maybe there is Equation Group version of cryptolocker+stuxnet for banks and financial systems? If Equation Group lose control of cyber weapons, who else lose or find cyber weapons? If electronic data go bye bye where leave Wealthy Elites? Maybe with dumb cattle? "Do you feel in charge?" Wealthy Elites, you send bitcoins, you bid in auction, maybe big advantage for you?

Whilst this is amusing on many levels, I don't fully agree with it; the fact is, there are people who want to kill us because of the actions of our governments, and a hatred of our way of life.
I think leaking stuff that the NSA has done in relation to ISIS and all the other nutters is not so good.
Cg
Even if the hack is real, this is the golden opportunity for scriptkiddies to spread
INFECTED FILES
In any archive/download. Beware when downloading such things.
Of course they'll instruct you to turn off the FW because it are 'hack' tools.
You've been warned.
Note: Not saying that @fyrstikken is spreading them! Just saying to be aware when downloading external 'hacking' tools.
How can we know if this is real? have you checked out the free files they've released?
Edit: I checked out the article you linked to in the post, and it seems to be legitimate. Really curious to see how this will play out.
everyone is checking it out in different communities as we speak. We will know more as time continues.
Keep us posted.
Lots of stuff is coming out. Maybe Snowden really did hit the dead mans switch when he posted the 64 hexadecimal code on twitter.

Man this is some crazy stuff....the watchers getting watched.
As a crazy/fun conspiracy theory, maybe someone at the NSA wants Steemit to take off, and knows that we are the only social media platform that will support this type of content without taking it down. This could have all been orchestrated in order to show how awesome Steemit really is.
Probably not.. but fun to think about :)
I think time will tell if these are the real files or not. Could be a scam, false-flag, or bait. A serious contender would send authentic proof and likely go through a 3rd party.
This is interesting, but not yet verified. Will keep a close eye on it though.
I'm sure some of it is bait.
Hi! I am a content-detection robot. This post is to help manual curators; I have NOT flagged you.
Here is similar content:
http://uk.finance.ret1p.global.media.yahoo.com/news/shadowy-group-claims-hacked-elite-161702313.html
Yes @cheetah - it is called spreading the information, it is part of what is called global awareness.
Flagged. Don't talk to @cheetah that way.
jk
lmao :D - @cheetah is OK, and he is right - a lot of people are writing similar content about the same case - and a paste is a paste, I did not want to re-write the pastebin from the hackers who claim to have hacked the NSA.
The Engwish language has never been so poetic and twue as here it is!
:) So is Steemit going to buy it haha?
If the rumors are true, heads will roll.
First will be the security folks, who allowed a breach. Then the detection and hunters who should have caught the activity before ex-filtration of the code. Then it will be a hunt for the perpetrators. If they are found, oh my!
But the chaos will not end there. Because if the code is in the wind, others will be able to scour and break it down.
Source code would give researchers good insights to who wrote the actual code. For a while, DARPA had a fasttrack program which harvested a lot of external tools, without the pesky need of a background check. They were very clear, they wanted offensive tools. Knowing who wrote it will shine a spotlight on them and all subsequent public work. Might also get them a few more jobs.
One of the more interesting aspects will be detection of latent signatures. So, a smart researcher may be able to tell where the tools have been used, and against whom! That could stir up a huge international political hornets nest. Right before election time.
Wow. Again, only if it is true. I am highly speculative someone was able to get far enough into such a secure network and get all their most secret digital toys.
All I can say Is they should have known better
Good! Fuck the NSA. They are the enemy, plain and simple.
