A discovered malware sample uses code from the NSA and a Chinese hacking group

This bothers me. I read this article A discovered malware sample uses code from the NSA and a Chinese hacking group which I’m also using as my blog title, and I just had to shake my head.

We’re talking about activities in 2017 before the big drop that really caused us to wonder.

In this article, a hacking group named Winnti Group is mentioned. I’ve never heard of these people, yet this can’t be a good sign if they took code from the NSA andd turned it in to malware which hasn’t been delivered yet.

There was also an implant using the same type of code known as “peddle cheap.” We all know the “shadow brokers” from way back when, and research is wondering if there’s something going on.

Feel free to check out the article, and thanks for listening and reading the blog. We hope you find this of interest.
