Link seems bad...
For a more detailed article on this, check out the link below. It's been going on for over 14 years. The technology behind it is beyond anything I've seen or heard of. As a techie, I find this both fascinating and terrifying.

How "Omnipotent" Hackers Tied To NSA Hid For 14 Years and Were Found At Last
The money and time required to develop the Equation Group malware, the technological breakthroughs the operation accomplished, and the interdictions performed against targets leave little doubt that the operation was sponsored by a nation-state with nearly unlimited resources to dedicate to the project. The countries that were and weren't targeted, the ties to Stuxnet and Flame, and the Grok artifact found inside the Equation Group keylogger strongly support the theory the NSA or a related US agency is the responsible party, but so far Kaspersky has declined to name a culprit. NSA officials didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment for this story. What is safe to say is that the unearthing of the Equation Group is a seminal finding in the fields of computer and national security, as important, or possibly more so, than the revelations about Stuxnet.
Interesting read.
Argh.
That is all.
I wonder if they can use this to launch nuclear weapons too?

I always use a bouncer with a speed ticker to shoot rays off of a tower in Southpark to a location in Idaho, that sends my message through a transponder in CA to the White House where my message is posted to this forum.
