NSA Hackers The Shadow Brokers Dump More Files (vice.com)
The hacker (or a group of hackers) who call themselves The Shadow Brokers today published more files. From an article on Motherboard: This latest release comes while Hal Martin, an NSA contractor and, according to The Washington Post , the prime suspect in The Shadow Brokers case sits in detention after being arrested for allegedly stealing swaths of classified material. "TheShadowBrokers is having special trick or treat for Amerikanskis tonight," a message from the hackers posted to Medium reads. The message is signed with the same PGP key used to sign several previous posts, including the group's original announcement that came with links to a slew of NSA exploits. As for the files, The Shadow Brokers claim they reveal IP addresses linked to the Equation Group, a hacking unit widely believed to be tied to the NSA. "This is being equation group pitchimpair (redirector) keys, many missions into your network is/was coming from these ip addresses," The Shadow Brokers' post continues.The report adds that the dump contains 300 folders of files -- all corresponding to different domains and IP addresses. Security researcher who goes by the alias Hacker Fantastic the dump contains 306 domains and 352 IP addresses relating to 49 countries in total. "If accurate, victims of the Equation Group may be able to use these files to determine if they were potentially targeted by the NSA-linked unit."
It's rather meaningless that someone accused of stealing information is in prison when some of the information was released. It does bring a smile to my face that their announcement is written in "Russian accent" English, especially with all the blaming Russia because we don't like the leaked info going around.
Don't waste your vote! Vote for whoever you want, unless you live in a swing state it won't matter anyways
They are probably both working for rival NSA Teams the same as the clowns that were trying to sell the NSA's Exploit Toolkit

it's like it comes straight out of a bad Hollywood movie. These people are not Russian, they're just doing a terribly bad job at pretending to be. My guess, it's some U.S. intelligence agency doing these releases, and anyone who picks these tools up will in some carefully calculated way be worse off than you were before installing them.
No network is secure. The very concept of security is antithetical to what networks are about: sharing information. Any attempts to add security to networks is ultimately useless. Of course people will get mad to me for saying this, but this is proven over and over again: once information is on a network - it is shared. Due to the way networks are constructed there is no way to reliably exclude the sharing of the information, because there is no way to reliably validate connected endpoints. An endpoint can be a computer, a router or some guy plugging in a thumbdrive. Intelligence agencies need to stop using computer networks for sensitive information. The bigger the network, the more insecure it is. And the agencies have large networks.
Of course not. Federal bureaucrats never take responsibility for anything. Someone(s) in NSA needs to hang for this. And soon.
Maybe we could take a break from trolling around Shadow Brokers English usage - Has anyone seen any traffic from these IP addresses in system/firewall logs, etc.?
This is the National Security Agency we're talking about. The narrative we're supposed to believe is that these are the best and brightest security professionals on the planet. All evidence suggests otherwise, with terabytes of classified information being carted out their own doors.
You'd think they would focus more on their own operational security and less on violating the civil liberties of normal, law-abiding American citizens, and yet they don't. What does that tell you.
Folks, YOU can make a difference by going to the mainstream discussion boards and drum up support for Trump. Here is why:
A) He has publicly blasted the Wahabists. Those who sponsor ISIS and Clinton. Those who did 9/11 and Boston Pressure Cookers.
B) He has promised to care about Americans, not American corporations. Clinton wants more H1B and more unemployed Americans.
C) Trump will make a deal with Russia, so that Ankara's and Riad's terror operatives can be quickly dispatched to their 72 virgin piglets in hell.

Russians dont say "Amerikanskis"
They say "americos(õ)" - sadly, slashdot does not let to write in russian alphabet...
Just because you Americans and Israelis have infected the informatics world with shit-tech like C and Unix means nothing at all.
Niklaus Wirth, Pascal and Ada, the Algol mainframes have much better security.
We can have secure computers, they are just not American in all likelihood.
First of all, it's 50TB of stuff they are claiming, not 500TB. Next, did they read all 50TB to decide it was all classified? Or did they just find some classified stuff on disks that in total contained 50TB of stuff? Probably that is 1TB of classified stuff, and 49TB of porn.
If it really is 50TB of classified stuff, my guess would be that it is data that he was going to use either to work on his thesis, or to improve his work stuff, which apparently is how to hack others. For example, it might be 50TB of code snarfed by NSA hacking from around the world, that he wants to figure out how to insert trapdoors or the like. He might well have snarfed it himself from home, but if he used NSA tools to do that, the data would be classified because it would reveal what the NSA can snarf if it so chooses.
The idea that this is 50TB of NSA "documents" is a 10 story pile of ordure. Some idiot journalists even tell us how many "books" this would equal.
Anyone have a link to the actual dump? Looks like this is another clickbait slashdot fuckfest without a link to the source in the story. You know, actual code that geeks would be interested in seeing the NSA use. Yeah fuck you slashdot.
And no; stealing and reposting every motherboard story to keep your failing site alive is not a good business model, especially with no linked sources. Do something original you fucking parasites.
Folks, YOU can make a real difference by going to the mainstream discussion boards and drum down support for Trumpski. Here is why:
A) He has publicly blasted Wasabi. The same stuff enjoyed by ISIS and Clinton. The stuff some people ate during 9/11 and using Pressure Cookers.
B) He has promised to care about his American corporations, not every American corporation. Clinton wants more H1B and more employed Americans.
C) Trumpski will make a deal with Russia, so that Ankara's and Riad's terror operatives can be quickly rewarded to obtain their 72 virgin while you eat your piglets in hell.
