- "The NSA. You want to hack the NSA? That's a bad idea, Skye. That's a terrible idea. The NSA's already got S.H.I.E.L.D. on its watch list. Why poke the bear - the big, scary, waterboarding bear?"
- ―Eric Koenig to Skye[src]
The National Security Agency is part of the United States' Department of Defense and is one of the main intelligence services in the United States of America.
History
S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Eric Koenig and Skye decided to hack NSA satellite feeds to learn what happened at the Fridge when the facility was raided by HYDRA operatives who, unbeknownst to them, included John Garrett and Grant Ward. Skye proposed to use the satellite images to learn where the escapees went, and despite she successfully hacked the feed, Ward killed Koenig and disabled it before it could be effectively used.[1]
The National Security Agency interviewed Maria Hill after the implosion of S.H.I.E.L.D. due to the events of the HYDRA Uprising.[2]
Foggy Nelson had to clarify a joke about bribing a cop during a phone conversation with Matt Murdock, in case the NSA was listening to their conversation.[3]
