I've been hearing rumours of an alledged compromise of the NSA Web server but no hard evidence. The claim made is that several Mb of files were downloaded from the server and posted to the "Internet". I can't see it in sci.crypt or alt.conspiracy though.
While it is true the NSA has some machines directly connected to the Internet (most are on private internal TCP/IP networks), and some even contain classified information, their WWW server isn't one of them. So, it is doubtful anything other than intended information was downloaded from it.
