Earlier this week, we have reports which state that the notorious hacking group Shadow Brokers is selling their hacking tools. These tools can be used to hack Windows-based devices. Today to our surprise, the group has suddenly decided to quit its operation and is now giving away some of its stolen Windows hacking tools to public for free.
In a goodbye note on the hackers’ website, they revealed that they are going dark as all they want os money(in their case bitcoin) and since they are not able to get enough Bitcoins, they decided to quit. But, the address of bitcoin of hackers group is still active and if they receive 10,000 BTC they vow to come back and dump the passwords for Windows and Linux.
In the very same time, the hackers group wants to sell some of their Windows hacking tools for a total of 750 BTC. Thi sure seems like a desperate move before they vanish into the dark world of Internet. An analysis of the tools provided by the hackers is available at Heimdal Security’s blog post.
