A government sponsored team of super hackers - what could possibly go wrong?

Hahaha! ;D

Yeah, pretty much exactly that.

Can anyone say "mission creep"? :)

On the "good" side, we may get to see our first real world Bond villains.  :o

But having Bond villains without Bond seems a tad bit counterproductive.  :tellme:

You're just not thinking enough like a spook. And no, I can't believe I wrote that either.

Maybe the creation of a new superspy agency was their long game from the beginning.

Step 1: Create a team of top secret super hackers
Step 2: Wait for them to go rogue and start SMERSH
Step 3: Use it as an excuse to build a new army of super agents

That's convoluted and asinine enough to be believable. It does, however, have one major flaw. Nobody in the intelligence business thinks that far ahead. Technically, you could say we have no intelligence agencies - just counter intelligence, and only in the most literal sense.

Yeah I can see this going horribly wrong within a few years. Its like antibiotic resistance, suddenly the standard treatments for common problems no longer apply.

People are probably going to die because of this

Even if not directly, if extreme care is not taken in programming the payload selection it could disturbingly easily case serious damage to critical infrastructure and lead to widespread public utility failures and panic.
