Security experts reportedly found a Windows exploit used in Stuxnet as part of the latest Shadow Brokers dump.
Hacker group Shadow Brokers released a fresh batch of alleged NSA (National Security Agency) hacking tools on Friday (14 April), which security experts said contain a whole host of exploits capable of causing widespread cyber panic. One such tool uncovered by security researchers hints at the first real connection between the NSA and the infamous Stuxnet worm, which made headlines in 2010 after it was used against Iran, in what is considered as one of the first targeted cyberespionage attacks.
Hacking group Shadow Brokers has released the password to a trove of NSA exploits in what they say is a form of protest against President Donald Trump for going back on his campaign promises, and warning the president, “Don’t forget your base.”
