## Resource

The Shadow Brokers dropped a cyber bomb in 2016, leaking NSA hacking tools—including the infamous EternalBlue—that fueled global ransomware attacks and exposed how government cyberweapons can leak into the wild. Their identity remains a mystery, with theories ranging from a rogue NSA contractor to a Russian disinformation operation. Even today, new malware hidden in their leak continues to surface, proving this cyber heist still shapes global security—and why the Shadow Brokers remain one of the internet’s greatest unsolved puzzles.
