A deep dive into the Shadow Brokers, the still-unidentified group that in 2016 stole and publicly dumped NSA hacking tools. Despite being one of the worst intelligence leaks in U.S. history, no one has ever been arrested or charged. The leaked tools included EternalBlue, which was later weaponized in the WannaCry and NotPetya attacks causing an estimated $10 billion in global damages. The leading theory is that the Shadow Brokers were a Russian government operation, but the mystery remains unsolved a decade later. The case underscores the risk to the private sector when intelligence agencies hoard vulnerabilities.
