The American NSA experienced a wave of suicides among employees.
The US National Security Agency, which deals with cyber operations and intelligence, recorded a wave of suicides. In 2026, at least 11 NSA and US Cyber Command employees committed suicide.
Ten of the deaths occurred in the Fort Meade, Maryland area, where both organizations are based. Another is near an NSA facility in Georgia.
Gen. Joshua Rudd, who heads both agencies, requested $11 million in April to address mental health issues among employees. Reasons include overwork, financial and psychological problems.
