Nobody knows what Cicada 3301 is for sure. I'm guessing it's an elaborate game being played by a group of hackers and computer game enthusiasts. A sort of computer game that's played in 'meatspace', if you will. If it were the NSA or MI6, I don't think they would have posted the stuff on 4Chan. They seem to be doing pretty well in cyber warfare and surveilling the populous without needing to resort to mysterious recruitment methods.

No, I'd say it's a diverse group of computer people spread throughout the globe who have a great time every year figuring out new puzzles, designing levels of intrigue and finding ways to keep themselves anonymous.
