- pcthrowaway 3y ago> This individual/organization needs to be on the top of every country's most wanted lists Because if the "organization" is a U.S. agency, not much is going to happen here. Russia or China or North Korea might make some strongly worded statements, but nothing is going to happen. It's also very possible that security researchers won't be able to find out, and government agencies will finger-point as a means of misdirection. For example, a statement comes out in a month that this was North Korea. Was it really? Or are they just a convenient scapegoat so the NSA doesn't have to play defense on its lack of accountability again?
