 The Equation Group, a cyber-attack group allegedly associated with the U.S. National Security Administration (NSA), has been hacked in an unconfirmed data dump of exploits and secret tools according to TheHackerNews.

An unknown hacker or a group of hackers calling themselves The Shadow Brokers, in addition to offering free hacked tools online, also auctioned hacked tools for $568 Million dollars in Bitcoin.

Equation Group was linked to the previous infamous Regin and Stuxnet cyber attacks now known to be state sponsored malware attacks.

So what was leaked?

Exploits for American & Chinese firewalls were leaked installation scripts, configurations for command-and-control (C&C) servers, and exploits allegedly designed to target routers and firewalls.

Additionally some of the leaked software correlated with names in the leaked documents by Edward Snowden, including – “BANANAGLEE” and “EPICBANANA.” Two oddly names for classified spyware software.

Although unconfirmed, many believe this is likely a legitimate hack. Two experts weighed in on the leaked files saying.

“I haven’t tested the exploits, but they definitely look like legitimate exploits”
~Matt Suiche, founder of UAE-based cyber security firm Comae Technologies, told the Daily Dot.

“If this is a hoax, the perpetrators put a huge amount of effort in. The proof files look pretty legit, and they are exactly the sorts of exploits you would expect a group that targets communications infrastructure to deploy and use.”
~Security researcher The Grugq told Motherboard.

If the NSA has been hacked it would be a historic breach of national security and a critical incident. Another alleged intelligence agency firm – Italian surveillance company Hacking Team – which has ties to the NSA was hacked last year. Hackers dumped more then 400GB’s of data online, including tools, exploits and financial data. Hacking team sells spyware to governments all around the world. And before that, Gamma International was hacked — a British-German surveillance company that sells the spyware software FinFisher.

It seems like 2016 is once again the year of the hacker. With so many hacks in the past few months and in the last week alone. The DCCC was hacked, George Soros, and now an NSA subsidiary company Equation Group was hacked. It seems politically motivated hacks are back in style again for the 2016 election.

Anyone want to take any bets that the U.S. government and media blames Russia like it has for the DCCC, DNC and the George Soros hack for the latest leak out of the NSA?

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
