RantCrush Top 5: October 21, 2016

Earlier this month, the FBI arrested a former NSA contractor named Harold T. Martin III for stealing a “breathtaking” amount of confidential information including computer code developed by the agency to hack into the networks of foreign governments. This raises concerns, especially since NSA code has been found in the wrong hands before. An anonymous group called ‘Shadow Brokers’ was flagged for trying to sell NSA  hacking tools online. It is not clear what Martin was trying to do with the information he stole, but now the news broke that according to various sources he had been trying to teach himself Russian. Not great.
