Are you NSA material? On Monday, the National Security Agency published a tweet with jumbled letters that led most followers to believe that it must have been sent by mistake. But it turns out the encrypted message was actually just a part of a new campaign to recruit the \"best and brightest\" coders to join their team.<\/p>\n
\"So they were fishing via social media for new employees or people who could be interested in working at the NSA,\" Tamron explained in the Orange Room Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Unscrambled, the tweet says: \"Want to know what it takes to work at NSA? Check back each Monday in May as we explore careers essential to protecting our nation.\" <\/p>\n
So TODAY decided to put viewers to the test. At 7:17 a.m. we asked you to uncover our secret message in the Orange Room. Within two minutes, responses with the correct answer started rolling in. <\/p>\n
Despite Savannah telling Tamron that she would have to leave the message up on the Orange Room screen longer to \"give people a fighting chance,\" many TODAY fans quickly recognized that when rearranged, the letters spelled out, \"but first, this is TODAY on NBC.\" <\/p>\n
Although they weren't as quick as our viewers, eventually the anchors got it! <\/p>\n
In the end, Willie was happy to know that the message was nothing more than a creative attempt to recruit new employees. <\/p>\n
