NSA Hacking Tool has stolen
The National Security Agency hacking tools were stolen by Chinese hackers in 2016 and used them to carry on different cyber-attacks, according to the new report.
A Chinese hacker group which is associated with the Chinese government conducted a hacking campaign, the tool which was used by the hackers to carry on the campaign belonged to NSA at that time, and this was observed by cybersecurity company Symantec.
The Chinese government hackers are plenty of them around the world, the NSA tool was used very rarely, a fellow at Symantec reported that, though they used on lots of targets, the NSA tool was very rarely used due to its high value, and hence they did not want it to use everywhere.
It is still quite not clear how the Chinese got hands on the tool in the first place, NSA did not respond nor commented on this.
