Shadow Brokers quit operation; giving away free Windows hacking tools

Shadow Brokers quit operation; giving away free Windows hacking tools
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Earlier yesterday it was reported that the notorious Shadow Brokers hacking group is selling hacking tools which can be used to hack Windows-based devices. Now, it may come as a surprise the group has suddenly decided to quit their operation and give away some of the stolen Windows hacking tools for free.

In a goodbye note on their website, the hackers revealed that they are going dark because it was all about money (in their case bitcoin) and since they could not get enough Bitcoin, they have decided to quit. However, the bitcoin address of the group is still active and in case they receive 10,000 BTC they vow to come back and dump passwords for Linux and Windows.

At the same time, the group wants to sell some Windows hacking tools for a sum of 750 BTC which seems like a desperate move before vanishing into the dark world of Internet. The analysis of those tools is available at Heimdal Security’s blog post.

Shadow Brokers made the news in August 2016 by stealing hacking and security tools from reportedly NSA’s sponsored Equation Group, another notorious group of hackers defined by Kaspersky researcher as “the most advanced … we have seen.” As far as the Shadow Brokers are concerned, good luck to them.
