Shadow Brokers hackers release NSA hacking tools to punish Trump...

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." 

The shadowy group first emerged last August and released hacking exploits used by the NSA's Equation Group, which included vulnerabilities in firewall products, and a list of IP addresses the NSA had exploited, which the group released at a later date.

Shadow Brokers released passwords to the rest of the exploits on Saturday, in a move they described as a protest against Trump, who they say has "abandoned" his base by going back on many promises made on the campaign trail.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has confirmed that the leak included authentic NSA software. The leak doesn't contain the entire spy tools library, Snowden tweeted.
