Last August, a mysterious hacking organization called The Shadow Brokers leaked a trove of hacking tools that they allegedly stole from the NSA’s Equation Group. They gave away one collection of tools for free, but also shared another encrypted collection that they tried to auction off to the highest bidder. Apparently, no one took the bait. This week, The Shadow Brokers have returned to unveil the second collection to the world, which include some nasty Solaris attacks. Watch the my video for the highlights, and check the links below for more detail.
