In what Edward Snowden deems \u201cnot unprecedented,\u201d hackers calling themselves the Shadow Brokers have collected NSA-created malware from a staging server run by the Equation Group<\/a>, an internal hacking team. The Shadow Brokers published two chunks of data, one \u201copen\u201d chunk and another encrypted file containing the \u201cbest files\u201d that they will sell for at least $1 million. Wikileaks<\/a> has said they already own the \u201cauction\u201d files and will publish them in \u201cdue course.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also released images of the file tree containing a script kiddie-like trove of exploits ostensibly created and used by the NSA as well as a page<\/a> calling out cyber warriors and \u201cWealthy Elites.\u201d The page also contains links to the two files, both encrypted. You can grab them using BitTorrent here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
