Seemly this is a list of several NSA "zombies" used for cyberwarfare.

After googling parts of the file, I found a news report that claims they actually put some of the addresses there in SHODAN and actually did get into machines actually infected with NSA cyberwarfare software.

They can't really get in and scrub these, because people are watching them now, so upside, some poor sap isn't having to go in and do a ton of cleanup work, downside is there are a lot of potential honeypots now.

Scrubbing is the least of their issues. This list will make retroactively attributing attacks to the US a lot easier.

Assuming it's real, and not someone "framing" the US by releasing a list of their own relays.
