Snowden's documents confirm that hacking tools belong to the NSA

The documents leaked by Snowden φαίνεται να επιβεβαιώνουν ότι τα hacking leaked earlier this week belong to the US National Security Agency (NSA).

The "Shadow Brokers" team published a series of malware and the tools used by a hacking group known as “ Group.” Οι Shadow Brokers περιγράφει το κακόβουλο σαν “όπλα του κυβερνοχώρου” που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν από την NSA για τη διεξαγωγή ενεργειών επιτήρησης.NSA Snowden

On the other hand Intercept, το οποίο εξακολουθεί να έχει αντίγραφα των εγγράφων που διέρρευσε ο Snowden, ανέφερε την Παρασκευή ότι υπάρχουν ενδείξεις που συνδέουν τα hacking εργαλεία με την NSA.

One of the top secret slides used by the NSA showing how one might use one of the leaked malware 'weapons' μια σειρά από 16 χαρακτήρες. Ο κωδικός “ace02468bdf13579,” βρέθηκε και στα προγράμματα που διέρρευσαν. Η συγκεκριμένη εφαρμογή ονομάζεται SECONDDATE, και περιγράφεται σαν ένα “που είναι σχεδιασμένο να υποκλέπτει αιτήματα web και να κατευθύνει τους browsers των υπολογιστών-στόχων σε ένα web server της NSA.”

What is still unknown is how Shadow Brokers managed to discover the server with malware. Tools are extremely effective, and specialized malware is designed to infiltrate some of the world's best firewalls and networking equipment.

Cisco and Fortinet, which have both confirmed their products are affected by the malware, have already begun patching devices and their.

As we mentioned in a previous publication, Snowden had said on Twitter that "hacking an NSA malware server is not simple."

Snowden more or less hinted that Russia, where he now lives in exile, may have been behind it .

"This leak looks like someone is sending a message and that escalating the game could get dirty pretty quickly."

It seems we are already there.
