The Shadow Brokers leak, which is now the most destructive and costly NSA breach in history, has spawned a series of malicious actor attacks that now puts much of American cities' critical digital infrastructure at risk.
Since that leak, foreign intelligence agencies and rogue actors have used EternalBlue to spread malware that has paralyzed hospitals, airports, rail and shipping operators, A.T.M.s and factories that produce critical vaccines. Now the tool is hitting the United States where it is most vulnerable, in local governments with aging digital infrastructure and fewer resources to defend themselves.
