The NSA tweeted a cryptic message on Monday. The post turned out to be in regards to hiring. The NSA has clarified that it is posting the cryptic messages in order to attract the best possible candidates. If people can decrypt the posts, then apparently they should be working for the world’s largest spy agency.

 

 

Given its reputation, this sort of hiring practice just doesn't seem right.

ill let my quantum computer decrypt it for me

[The Last MeMe]

It says: We have pictures of you naked.

Oh shit

[Paralectic]

The NSA is extremely pathetic, is all I can say.

[Scionyde]

To me, it looks a bit more like somebody’s pet jumped on the desk and trampled their keyboard.

You figured it out. You just got yourself a job. 

[flibberdipper]

Nobody wants to work for the NSA anyway.

[slashes_2_asses]

They don't interview people, coz they already know everything about you. If you are quallified and they decided to hire you, NSA will cantact you.

[coreRoss]

Its a good way to find extraordinary people that the NSA may never meet by any other means.

For the right amount of money, I will do anything. I mean ANYTHING.

hold up, let me get my super suit..

Let's see..."If you can read this, you are a cad."

I really have no idea. It's kinda silly if you ask me.

So wait... Who's running it then? Robots?

It says:

 

"Want to know what it takes to work at NSA? Check back each Monday in may as we explore careers essential to protecting our nation."

 

Seriously. It's not hard to crack, it's a substitution cipher.

 

EDIT:

 

Just looked at the article. They deciphered it wrong (just missed the "In may" part)

No. Just soul-less bastards.

How do you figure out what each letter actually stands for? Like, how did you know that the "t" was a "w"?

[SirPaul]

First of all   : I would work for NSA because it is almost SURE that it is paid really well.

Second of All : Similar technic of hiring was used by ESET (Slovak company - antivirus software) in our state , where they post a video with encrypted message, or i think once they hidden a notebook in city and based on some encrypted things e.t.c. you must have find it .  Fun.

[SirPaul]

No. Just soul-less bastards.

 

Tell me why ? As a developer iam almost definitely  sure that you cannot access any private data.  So in that point you are just a SW programmer as any other.  Paid well. 

And seriously i really don't care.  If it would be job where you have a new opportunities to code at new level, have a good money there. I dont think it matters. 

People who think like that will have problem everytime .. Ugh you work for NSA? such a spy ..  Ugh you work for Apple ?  Such a douchebag and moneygrabber ..  Ugh you work for microsoft ? Why did you code windows so lame oh, and why xbox1  is such spying machine . (Yeah like it even doesn't matter that you are programming something totally different and not connected to those platforms).

People just dont understand that in such big companies you can find a great job and if there is any controversy running , that guy most possibly didn't even know about it .

Didn't start by guessing that. Start replacing the most common letters in the message with the most common letters in the alphabet.

 

Also, since the message probably isn't a bunch of 12-ish letter words, the spaces are likely meaningless.

 

Takes some time.

Oh. Interesting. I'll give it a try next Monday.

This helps.

clues are things like "t=w, p=a", where x in x=y is the letter in the coded message.
