How did the hackers get the NSA tools

Sources close to research on how NSA surveillance tools and zero-days που χρησιμοποιούσαν κατέληξαν στα χέρια των hackers αναφέρουν ότι η he knew about their loss three years ago but kept it quiet.

These sources reported to ότι η έρευνα για τα δεδομένα της υπηρεσίας που δημοσιεύτηκαν από μια ομάδα η οποία αυτοαποκαλείται Shadow Brokers έδειξε ότι η διαρροή ήταν ήδη γνωστή από την NSA.NSA

It also showed that the hack was not done on the service itself and that the leaked data did not come from whistleblower Edward Snowden. According to the same sources it appears to have come from one of the NSA staff members who "forgot" them.

Το στέλεχος της υπηρεσίας πληροφοριών των ΗΠΑ, έχει εγκαταλείψει την ΝSA για άλλους λόγους. Τα ευαίσθητα εργαλεία φέρεται να ξεχάστηκαν σε έναν εξωτερικό διακομιστή - πιθανόν κάποια bounce box - μετά από μια εγχείρηση. Οι hackers στη συνέχεια παραβίασαν το μηχάνημα, εισέβαλαν και βρέθηκαν μπροστά στα ευαίσθητα δεδομένα της ΝSA. Το στέλεχος της ΝSA, ενημέρωσε την υπηρεσία του μετά το περιστατικό, αλλά δεν προειδοποίησαν τις εταιρείες όπως η Cisco ότι οι πελάτες τους ήταν σε κίνδυνο.

The NSA silenced the event.

The most elegant possibility-view of the fact is that the service kept this secret to see who will use them, monitoring the traffic on the global Internet..
The other point of view that does not interest NSA is that it did not immediately disclose the theft of tools in order not to shut down companies affected by security gaps. If the second is true, the information service has preferred to put thousands of company customers at risk.

According to the US government, the guidelines state that if NSA estimates that the severity of zero-day defects is high, it finds and informs affected companies.
