“Could the intelligence community have a secret exploit for Bitcoin? It’s rather obvious that Bitcoin presents a very strong financial incentive to break its cryptography, since such a vulnerability could allow an attacker to claim large amounts of virtual currency for themselves. But given the decentralized nature of the currency, it may also be a target for intelligence officials looking for ways to track its use.  Clearly, Bitcoin is on the government’s radar. Knowing how much effort the NSA, amongst others, has placed on cracking encryption, has it tackled Bitcoin too?
