NSA allegedly hacked by unknown group

An unknown hacking group referring to itself as the “Shadow Brokers” has reportedly hacked the National Security Agency and is trying to auction off the data it grabbed.

The group posted some of the data for free on a Tumblr blog over the weekend, Foreign Policy reported Monday, though it had been inexplicably removed by Monday evening. The rest of the information was available for buyers to place bids on using the cryptocurrency bitcoin.
