Shadow Brokers launches monthly subscription service offering nuclear, banking secrets

The Shadow Brokers hacking group is pushing a monthly subscription service offering members top secret information including “compromised network data” from the nuclear and ballistic missile programs of Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

The group’s monthly data dump could also include hacking exploits for web browsers, routers, and operating systems including Windows 10.

"TheShadowBrokers Data Dump of the Month" is a new monthly subscription model, the group said. Payment will likely be made in the cryptocurrency Bitcoin given the group’s ransom demands in previous cyber attacks.

The group also promised to include compromised financial data from the SWIFT international payment order system, used by banks to transfer trillions of dollars each day, as well as confidential data from several central banks.
