Want to sound like a spy? $100 for 'nsa.org' email address

If you want the cool factor of sounding like a spy, and if you have $100 (P4,375) to spare, you may want to buy this cool-sounding NSA.org email address.

An information technology consultant, Chris Fisher, owns the NSA.org domain and is selling the domain's email addresses and subdomains, tech site Mashable reported.

"(NSA.org) was a fun domain to IRC [Internet chat protocol] from for trash-talking and bustups with rival hackers (yeah, LOL)," Mashable quoted Fisher as telling it via email.

Mashable added Fisher is now selling NSA.org email addresses "to make a few bucks and take advantage of the sudden notoriety of the NSA, thanks to Edward Snowden and his top-secret leaked documents."

He added $100 should be a "bargain price" for the impression that one is affiliated with the National Security Agency.

"Since I am taking a break from the consulting, I figured this would be a decent source of income while living in super cheap Oregon," he said.

Mashable said Fisher registered the NSA.org domain in 1995 and harvested several domain names—including tacobell.com—since they were cheap at the time.

But he particularly kept the NSA.org domain and rejected offers from others who wanted to buy it.

Among the highest "bidders" was the National Smokers Association in the late 1990s, he said.

Talks with WikiLeaks

Fisher said he has been in talks with WikiLeaks.

"We might do something together," he wrote in an email to Mashable, but declined to elaborate.

He added he might also do something with the Internet advocacy group "Fight For The Future." — VC, GMA News
