NSA's "Equation Group" hacked, malware leaked online.

After NSA hacking exposé, CIA staffers asked where Equation Group went wrong
Equation Group is the name Kaspersky Lab researchers gave to the hacking unit that was responsible for a string of hacks so sophisticated and audacious they were unlike almost any the world had seen before. For 14 years, and possibly longer, the hackers monitored computers in at least 42 countries, sometimes by exploiting the same Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities that would later be exploited by the Stuxnet worm that targeted Iran's nuclear program. The backdoors hid inside hard drive firmware and in virtual file systems, among other dark places, and had their own self-destruct mechanism, making it impossible for outsiders to grasp the true scope of the group's hacks.
Equation Group eventually came to light because of a handful of errors its members made over the years.
