It was the CIA and anyone who aren't starry eyed tech dorks has known this forever

The skills would be at the NSA for this project

  • The CIA has been involved in cyber operations since like the 50's and more offensively post 9/11 and it's only grown since. Google Vault 7, and the Center for Cyber Intelligence (CCI) which has over 5,000 employees which has been coined the departments "own NSA" but with even less accountability.

    This is obviously that which we know of and we're both essentially agreeing as the NSA/CIA work together often and in secret ala Stuxnet.

  • What about ONI? They invented TOR.

    • It’s a math heavy problem.

      Who employs the most mathematicians?

      Tor was contracted out to MIT grads, the need came from the navy, but they didn’t have the ability internally to make it happen (and also wanted it to be public so it wasn’t just intel operatives using it which would identify them).
