Stolen NSA Hacking Tools find little demand at Auction

A hacker group by the name of ShadowBroker claims to have stolen hacking tools that the U.S. National Security Administration (NSA) uses to hack into other person’s computers.

PCWorld first came onto this story and found a message from one of its members complaining about the lack of interest.  The member said (in broken english):

“TheShadowBrokers is not being interested in fame. TheShadowBrokers is selling to be making money.”

As of Monday, their auction only had one substantial bid at 1.5 bitcoins, or US $918. Many of the other bids were valued at less than $1.00.
