Seems that the NSA is trying to soak up a lot of the newly laid off tech workers. Not entirely sure whats causing the hiring spree, but I've heard about it in other places.

“As NSA shifts to an era of strategic competition, it is critical that we’re able to build and sustain the diverse and expert workforce we need to continue working our missions,” said NSA Executive Director Catherine Aucella.

Strategic competition is certainly an odd way of putting it.
