Yes, NSA-related ransomware is real, but it’s a bit more complex. In 2017, a group called the Shadow Brokers leaked hacking tools allegedly developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). One of these exploits, EternalBlue, was later used by cybercriminals to spread the infamous WannaCry ransomware, which infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide.

So while the NSA itself did not create ransomware, its leaked cyberweapons were repurposed by attackers into real ransomware campaigns.
