As promised to unloosen more zero-days exploits in addition to hacking tools for diverse platforms starting from June 2017, the infamous hacking grouping Shadow Brokers is dorsum alongside to a greater extent than information on how to subscribe in addition to perish a somebody fellow member for receiving exclusive access to the hereafter leaks.
The Shadow Brokers is the same hacking grouping who leaked NSA's built Windows hacking tools in addition to zero-day exploits inwards world that led to the WannaCry menace.
When the Shadow Brokers promised its June 2017 unloosen 2 weeks ago, the grouping announced that it would sell novel zero-day exploits in addition to hacking tools exclusively to the somebody members alongside paid monthly subscription, instead of making them world for everyone.
How to Become Member of the 'Wine of Month' Club?
Now, merely a few minutes ago, the hacking collective has released details almost how to participate inwards the monthly subscription model – or the "Wine of Month Club," every bit the grouping called it – to teach exclusive access to the upcoming leaks each calendar month starting from June.
So, those who are interested inwards buying the membership of the "wine of calendar month club" would involve to:
- Send 100 ZEC (Zcash), which is around $21,519 USD, to this z_address (zcaWeZ9j4DdBfZXQgHpBkyauHBtYKF7LnZvaYc4p86G7jGnVUq14KSxsnGmUp7Kh1Pgivcew1qZ64iEeG6vobt8wV2siJiq) betwixt 06/01/2017 in addition to 06/30/2017.
- Include a 'delivery electronic mail address' inwards the 'encrypted memo field' when sending Zcash payment.
Once done, the Shadow Brokers volition transportation a payment confirmation electronic mail to "delivery electronic mail address" provided yesteryear all interested members.
Then betwixt 07/01/2017 in addition to 07/17/2017, the grouping volition transportation some other electronic mail to all confirmed members, containing a link in addition to their unique password for the June 2017 information dump.
Launched inwards belatedly October, Zcash is a novel cryptocurrency currency that claims to survive to a greater extent than anonymous than Bitcoin, every bit the sender, recipient, in addition to value of transactions rest hidden. However, the grouping said, it doesn't fifty-fifty trust Zcash in addition to Tor for absolute anonymity.
"Zcash is having connections to USG (DARPA, DOD, John Hopkins) in addition to Israel. Why USG is "sponsoring" privacy version of bitcoin? Who the fuck is knowing? In defense, TOR is originally beingness yesteryear similar parties. TheShadowBrokers non fully trusting TOR either," the Shadow Brokers writes.
What is Going to survive inwards the Next Data Dump?
The hacking collective says the membership has been kept expensive because the information dump has been intended for hackers, safety companies, government, in addition to OEMs.
"If you lot caring almost losing $20k+ Euro hence non beingness for you. Monthly dump is beingness for high rollers, hackers, safety companies, OEMs, in addition to governments," the Shadow Brokers say.Although what the June dump would incorporate is non clear at the moment, the Shadow Brokers' terminal proclamation claimed that the upcoming information dump would include:
- Exploits for operating systems, including Windows 10.
- Exploits for spider web browsers, routers, in addition to smartphones.
- Compromised information from banks in addition to Swift providers.

Keeping inwards hear the terminal disaster caused due to the leaked NSA exploits, it would non survive incorrect if safety companies purchase the June dump for $21,000 per calendar month in addition to secure their products earlier hackers teach their hands on novel zero-day exploits to wreak havoc across the world.
The claims made yesteryear the Shadow Brokers rest unverified at the fourth dimension of writing, but since its previously released dump turned out to survive legitimate, the group's arguing should survive taken seriously, at to the lowest degree now, when nosotros know the NSA's backdoors released yesteryear the grouping terminal calendar month were used yesteryear WannaCry in addition to other malware to drive chaos worldwide.
If the proclamation made yesteryear the Shadow Brokers comes out to survive true, the globe should survive good prepared for some other WannaCry-like massive destroyer.
Shadow Brokers Emptied their Bitcoin Account
Before publicly dumping the stolen NSA zero-day exploits inwards April, the Shadow Brokers set an auction of those cyber weapons for 1 Million Bitcoin.
Although the auction did non perish well, the Bitcoin address setup yesteryear the hacking collective to collect bids has received a total of 10.5 Bitcoin (around $24,000).
Finally, on Monday, the Shadow Brokers emptied their Bitcoin account, moving all the Bitcoins to subsidiary Bitcoin addresses.
