Coppersmith, Buhler, Gordon made big advances in NFS etc. Then they were offered money by NSA's pet company IDA. No more papers since then.

Of course the money was packaged as lucrative job offers, which means there's nothing scandalous here, right? Nothing to worry about, right?

And _of course_ the public community will quickly rediscover all of the attacks that Coppersmith et al. secretly discovered. We're so smart!
