In typically broken English, the Shadow Brokers published a fresh disputation (with amount of frustration) a few hours ago, promising to liberate to a greater extent than zero-day bugs together with exploits for diverse desktop together with mobile platforms starting from June 2017.
However, this fourth dimension the Shadow Brokers leaks volition non endure available for everybody, equally the hacking collective said:
"TheShadowBrokers is launching novel monthly subscription model. Is beingness similar [the] vino of calendar month club. Each calendar month peoples tin endure paying membership fee, hence getting members solely information dump each month."
To roughly extent, this is skillful news, but it is terrible tidings too. Good because at 1 time all these upcoming alleged unpatched vulnerabilities volition endure patched afterward beingness disclosed together with terrible because the grouping volition sell novel zero-day exploits together with hacking tools to somebody members amongst paid monthly subscription, instead of telling them to Microsoft.
Apparently, other hackers, criminal gangs, state-sponsored hackers, perchance roughly journalists together with people from tech companies, would naturally bring together Shadow Brokers' membership.
Get Ready for the 'Wine of Month Club'
So, anyone buying the membership of the "wine of calendar month club" would endure able to teach exclusive access to the upcoming leaks, which the Shadow Brokers claims would include:
- Exploits for spider web browsers, routers, together with smartphones.
- Exploits for operating systems, including Windows 10.
- Compromised information from banks together with Swift providers.
- Stolen network information from Russian, Chinese, Iranian, together with North Korean nuclear missile programs.
The claims made past times the grouping rest unverified at the fourth dimension of writing, but since the Shadow Brokers' previously released information dump turned out to endure legitimate, the group's disputation should endure taken seriously, at to the lowest degree now, when nosotros know the EternalBlue exploit together with DoublePulsar backdoor developed past times the NSA together with released past times the Shadow Brokers concluding calendar month was used past times WannaCry to displace chaos worldwide.
Before publicly dumping these exploits inward April, the Shadow Brokers seat an auction of cyber weapons stolen from NSA’s elite hacking squad called Equation Group for 1 Million Bitcoin.
After failed auction, the hacking grouping fifty-fifty seat upwardly those hacking tools together with exploits for straight sale on an undercover site, categorizing them into a type — similar "exploits," "Trojans," together with "implant" — each of which ranged from 1 to 100 Bitcoins (from $780 to $78,000).
After failure from all sides, the grouping started leaking those hacking exploits. Last month, the Shadow Brokers released a Microsoft Windows SMB exploit that was used past times the WannaCry ransomware, which infected 200,000 machines inward 150 countries within simply 48 hours.
While talking well-nigh the WannaCry ties amongst North Korean state-sponsored hacking grouping Lazarus Group, the grouping said:
"The Oracle is telling theshadowbrokers Democratic People's South Korea is beingness responsible for the global cyber laid on Wanna Cry. Nukes together with cyber attacks, America has to teach to war, no other choices!"
Shadow Brokers Lashed out on USA Government together with Tech Companies
In its recent post, the Shadow Brokers criticized both the USA regime together with tech companies, such equally Microsoft, for non bang-up downwards on the exploits when they had the chance, months earlier their release.
The hacking grouping said the USA regime is paying tech companies non to while zero-days inward their products, claiming that it has spies within Microsoft amid other USA tech firms.
The Shadow Brokers fifty-fifty defendant Google Project Zero team, saying:
"TheShadowBrokers is thinking Google Project Zero is having roughly onetime TheEquationGroup member. Project Zero late releasing "Wormable Zero-Day" Microsoft patching inward tape time, knowing it was coming? Coincidence?"
Who knows if these accusation made past times the Shadow Brokers grouping are truthful or not, but the earth should endure good prepared for roughly other WannaCry-like massive destroyer.
