The Shadowbrokers Dump of the month update and UNITEDRAKE

So in the mist and haze of the Equifax hack we seemed to have missed the new update from The Shadowbrokers. On Sept. 5th , 2017 they released a new update on steemit.com to add some updates to their dump of the month club. The changes are starting this month they will only take Zcash and no longer accept Monero because the memo field, where you give them your email, on Monero isn’t encrypted. They will sell previous, and it appears, future dumps for a set price ranging in price from 100 ZEC to 16000 ZEC (at the time of this writing that is anywhere from 20,567 USD to 3,290,720 USD).

They will deliver the emails in clear text only and they recommend using tutanota or protonmail. The dump for September is all exploits. The last thing is that they are 2 dumps a month.

Another thing they did was release their megafolder that has the manual for UNITEDRACK a tool that is a fully extensible remote collection system designed for Windows targets. The interesting thing about this tool is that it is either older and retired or it itself runs on old and insecure systems. (windows server 2003 and SQL 2008). Though it is able to compromise everything up to Windows 8 and Window server 2012. The UNITEDRAKE malware’s modules can capture keystrokes, impersonate the user, listen in and view your webcam and mic, steal diagonistic info, and self destruct when its finished. Interesting stuff as always from this group. Still looking forward to what comes public next.
