Notorious NSA contractor-turned-privacy advocate Edward Snowden warns the recent NSA hacks could have some really "messy" consequences.
Notorious NSA contractor-turned-privacy advocate Edward Snowden today took toTwitter to discuss the details of yesterday’s ‘Equation Group’ hack. The Equation Group — allegedly an offshoot of the NSA — saw its defenses penetrated by a group calling itself ‘The Shadow Brokers.’ Eventually this data began to make its way online.
The collected data is reported to be a cache of hack tools, known as binaries. According to Snowden, these tools are uploaded onto an NSA staging server as part of on-going operations to target and trace rival malware servers. The practice is known as Counter Computer Network Exploitation, or CCNE — a process that allows NSA hackers to steal tools used by foreign (or domestic rival) hackers in order to fingerprint them.
