I suspect this is a troll or uncommonly elaborate hoax for Y!A. A route trace on that address resolves to 5.9.187.121, and checking the authoritative whois server (RIPE NCC) for its address block shows the IP address is assigned among a small block of 16 IPs to someone in Iran.

If you leave your remote-control ports open to all outside connections, then you don't belong on the interwebs, and if the NSA is interested in monitoring you there are far more effective and subtle ways to do so than brute-forcing a remote control service connection via a poorly obscured Euro-zone IP under a fake Iranian profile.
