Life in NSA’s TAO Computer Hacking Unit

June 14, 2015 

For those of you interesting in what NSA is doing in the field of computer hacking, this leaked NSA document, an interview with a TAO officer, will be of interest to you. The tenor and tone of the article suggest that it has not been overly hyped, but I can tell you that in the past couple of years there has been a steady increase in the number of highly skilled TAO operators leaving the organization for better paying jobs in the computer security field. Better work hours and less family disruption are major reasons for these departures as well as more money.
