Powerful NSA hacking tools mysteriously surface online

The release of the cache of files could pose severe consequences for the National Security Agency’s operations and the security of government and corporate computers. “Without a doubt, they’re the keys to the kingdom,” said a former employee who worked in the agency’s hacking division.

Serious question now becomes for the ever reluctant Obama WH to confront Russia...WHEN will they have to actually push back with a very well thought through cyber attack to signal to Putin to "stand down"....

We are now in a full scale cyber war that the Obama WH does not quite want to believe it possible....THAT happens when your opponent views you as a weak leader for never pushing back in eastern Ukraine and or in Syria and or in their constant INF nuclear violations...

NSA ‘Shadow Brokers’ Hack Shows SpyWar with Kremlin Is Turning Hot

This won’t be the last time Putin and his spies have us over a barrel

By John R. Schindler • 08/17/16 10:45am


The National Security Agency can’t catch a break. Over three years ago, Edward Snowden, an IT contractor for the agency, defected to Moscow with more than a million classified documents. Since then, Snowden’s vast trove has been used to embarrass NSA about the extent of its global espionage reach.

I’ve been warning from Day One that the Snowden Operation was a Russian propaganda ploy aimed at inflicting pain on NSA, America’s most important spy agency, and its global alliance of espionage partnerships that’s been the backbone of the powerful Western intelligence system since it helped defeat the Nazis and Japan in World War II.

Western intelligence bosses recently have become open about stating what they’ve known for years, that Snowden is a Kremlin pawn designed to inflict pain on Russia’s adversaries in the SpyWar. There’s no doubt that’s the case, especially since the Kremlin now has admitted that Snowden is their agent.

For more than three years NSA has been subjected to an unprecedented stream of leaks about myriad Top Secret intelligence programs. Although Snowden claimed his motivation was to protect the civil liberties of fellow Americans by exposing secrets, it’s impossible to miss that well over 95 percent of the programs he’s compromised are purely involved with foreign intelligence. The impact of all this on agency morale has been devastating and NSA is in a state of crisis thanks to Snowden.

This week things took a marked turn for the worse, however, with the exposure of highly sensitive NSA hacking tools on the Internet by a murky group calling itself “The Shadow Brokers” which announced it planned to sell programs purloined from the agency. Like clockwork, NSA’s public website crashed and stayed down for almost a full day. Although there’s no indication this was linked to The Shadow Brokers, the optics for NSA were terrible.

First, some explanation is needed of what’s been compromised. The crown jewel here is a 300-megabyte file containing “exploits”—that is, specialized sophisticated cyber tools designed to burrow through firewalls to steal data. What The Shadow Brokers has, which it claims it stole from an alleged NSA front organization termed the Equation Group, appears to be legitimate.

Here we are, three years after Snowden, dealing with the consequences of allowing Russian moles to run amok inside NSA.

These exploits—or at least some of them—appear to come from NSA’s elite office of Tailored Access Operations, which is the agency’s hacking group. Arguably the world’s most proficient cyber-warriors, the shadowy TAO excels at gaining access to the computer systems of foreign adversaries. TAO veterans have confirmed that, from what they’ve seen of what The Shadow Brokers has revealed, they’re bona fide NSA exploits.

This represents a security disaster for an agency that really didn’t need another one. How this happened, given the enormous security that’s placed on all NSA Top Secret computer systems, raises troubling questions about what’s going on, since the agency instituted much more strenuous online security after Snowden’s defection, which revealed how slipshod NSA counterintelligence really was.

However, significant questions loom over this new scandal. In the first place, what really is The Shadow Brokers? They appear to be a transparent front for Russian intelligence. Indeed, they’re not really hiding that fact, given the broken English they used in their online auction notice asking for bitcoin in exchange for NSA information. From his Russian exile, even Snowden admitted on Twitter that this was pretty obviously a Kremlin spy game.

Pro-Russian sources have pointed to the Equation Group as an NSA front for more than a year. In early 2015, Kaspersky Labs, one of the world’s leading cybersecurity firms, announced the discovery of the Equation Group and fingers were quickly pointed at NSA as being the culprit behind those hackers. It should be noted that Kaspersky Labs has a very cozy relationship with the Kremlin and is viewed by most espionage experts in the West as an extended arm of Russian intelligence. The firm’s founder, Eugene Kaspersky, was trained in codes and ciphers by the KGB in the waning days of the Soviet Union, even meeting his first wife at a KGB resort.

That said, if even some of the leaked exploits are real, NSA has a big problem on its hands. The exploits seem to date from mid-2013, around the time Snowden fled to Moscow, so it’s difficult to see how he had anything to do with this.

It’s certainly possible that an NSA hacker goofed massively and left files in the wrong place at the wrong time. Human error can never be ruled out. Russian cybersleuths carefully watch for possible NSA operations online—just as we look for theirs—and even a single slip-up with Top Secret hacking tools could invite a disastrous compromise.

However, it’s far more likely that this information was stolen by an insider. There’s something fishy about the official story here. It’s far-fetched to think a small group of unknown hackers could infiltrate NSA. Furthermore, explained a former agency scientist, the set-up implied in the account given by The Shadow Brokers makes little sense: “No one puts their exploits on a [command-and-control] server…That’s not a thing.” In other words, there was no “hack” here at all.

It’s much more plausible that NSA has a Kremlin mole (or moles) lurking in its ranks who stole this information and passed it to Russian intelligence for later use. This isn’t surprising, since NSA has known since at least 2010 of one or more Russian moles in its ranks and agency counterintelligence has yet to expose them. In truth, Snowden—a mere sysadmin, never the “spy” he claimed to be—was a Kremlin patsy, giving Russian intelligence cover to protect its actual moles lurking inside America’s most powerful intelligence agency.

NSA has a dismal counterintelligence record—its ranks having been penetrated by Kremlin moles over and over again since its establishment in 1952. I know because I used to work for agency counterintelligence and I located such moles. NSA leadership was never very eager to find them, knowing the bad headlines their exposure would bring, and repeated warnings from security experts led to no real action. So here we are, three years after Snowden, dealing with the awful consequences of allowing Russian moles to run amok inside NSA.

The information that the Russians have placed online through The Shadow Brokers is more embarrassing to NSA than operationally significant. Though highly classified, it’s three years out of date—an eternity in the fast-moving world of cyber-intelligence. The point of this, then, is to cause pain and embarrassment to Washington, and here Moscow has succeeded.

It’s not difficult to determine why this is happening now. As I’ve explained, the SpyWar between America and Russia has heated up over the last year on all fronts, with increasingly brazen Moscow moves against our spies at home and abroad. The Kremlin is playing for keeps.

The current Russian effort to influence our presidential election, using more-or-less open Kremlin cut-outs like Wikileaks to hurt the Democrats, represents an upping of the espionage ante. Here the deep tentacles of Russian intelligence in the Republican campaign matter too, and with each passing day it looks like Vladimir Putin is setting the tone to which American politicians are dancing.

American intelligence knows what the Russians are up to, and Intelligence Community leaders have let the media know that they’ve been wise to Kremlin spy games for some time. Here NSA is vital, since it’s the agency that monitors foreign cyber operations against the United States. Therefore, this latest Russian effort to embarrass NSA before the world should be viewed as a warning shot across the agency’s bow not to reveal too much of what it knows to the public about Russian cyber-espionage and covert action—since NSA has plenty of secrets it wants to hide too.

“May we read about you in the newspapers!” is a joke-cum-curse among Israeli spies, reflecting the reality that it’s never a good day in the spy business when your operations wind upon the front page. After this latest Russian secret offensive, our Intelligence Community will be sorely tempted to inflict payback on the Kremlin in the shadows. However, our spy agencies, especially NSA, need to be careful, since until they get serious about counterintelligence and purge their ranks of moles, this won’t be the last time Putin and his spies have us over a barrel.

IF these attack numbers maintain themselves into today and a tad lower going forward WE are seeing a Russian full scale ground offensive.....


ATO reported a record number (96) of Russian attacks in #Donbas y/day with all types of weapons from small arms to 152-mm heavy artillery.

This could be the results of Putin indicating that for the so call FSB "false flag attack" that was a farce the DNR/LNR could assault the UAF....

IMHO both Russian mercenary armies are trying to find a break through for the rest of the Russian military forces that have been built up on the edge of the Ukraine or in Crimea.....

WHAT is IMO stopping the Russian military from making a military move is the ability of UAF to basically thwart anything that has been thrown at them and in a number of occasions they dished out punishment for the mercenary attacks much to their overall frustration... yes UAF has been taking loses but the Russians are being hurt and hurt badly loss wise...

Combined Russian-separatist forces attacked Ukrainian army positions near the village of Luhanske, Ukrainian news service TSN reported.

http://www.unian.info/war/1484441-militants-destroy-ukrainian-stronghold-near-donetsk.html



The militants were attacking the Ukrainian army with armored vehicles, grenade launchers and machine guns. One of the strongholds of the 54th Brigade was destroyed by a powerful mine. No casualties or injuries were reported as the result of shelling. Ukrainian soldiers managed to escape in shelters, according to the report. The village of Luhanske was almost surrounded by the militants, TSN reported. The 54th Brigade, which defends this section of the Svitlodarsk bridgehead, is said to be constantly attacked by the militants. At night, the terrorists fired large-caliber weapons, such as 120mm mortars. Since 7 p.m. the militants have launched not very aggressive, but provocative fire from a heavy machine gun, and a few days earlier they used armored combat vehicles.

85 ceasefire violations yday at Donbas + another supply convoy arrives today(2nd in 1 week)

Second aid convoy from #Russia entered the Donbas this morning. It's the second in a week, more then usual.
AFTER every so called Russian “aid convoy” shelling’s and ground attacks pick up massively…these so called “aid convoys” are nothing more than Russian military resupply runs….

A second run in one week does not bode well and the fighting then appears to be intensifying if there needs to be a second resupply run….……this high a resupply pace has not been seen since the intensive 2015 fighting…

Kremlin initiates the massive army training ‘Caucasus-2016' and intensifies Minsk agreements violations in Donbas, using banned heavy weapons

The General Staff of the Russian Army started preparations for the strategic military training ‘Caucasus-2016' on its own territory and actually ordered to 'shoot the Minsk agreements' in Donbas, Ukrainian military intelligence states in its today's report.

This is their appraisal on yesterday's heavy shelling of Ukraine-controlled village of Arkhanhelske with banned by the Minsk agreements 152-mm artillery systems.

Such action is aimed to cause maximum losses of Ukrainian forces, civilian population and the destruction of infrastructure – Intelligence stresses.

Ukrainian military are deeply concerned with sudden inspection of combat and mobilization readiness of the Russian Armed Forces near Ukrainian border on 25-31 August on the orders of Vladimir Putin.

The training involves up to 100 thousand of Russian soldiers, more than 10 thousand pieces of weapon and military equipment, 60 ships and 400 planes and helicopters. Sudden checking of combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces is the final stage of preparation to the strategic command-staff exercises ‘Caucasus-2016', especially the Southern Military District (Rostov-on-Don). Ukrainian military intelligence warns, that the stated purpose of the exercises can be modified supreme military and political leadership of Russiby Kremlin at any time and may be used for further escalation of the conflict in Donbas.

Under the disguise of training activities, Russian command works on increasing the quantity of troops on the southwestern direction in the vicinity of the Ukrainian borders, Intelligence states. It includes sending to the militants-controlled territories of the eastern Ukraine additional units of the Russian Federal Service for National Guard troops.

Felgenhauer: If Russia Plans to Attack Ukraine, It Will Do So in the Next Several Weeks
http://windowoneurasia2.blogspot.com/2016/08/if-russia-plans-to-attack-ukraine-it.html

Paul Goble


Staunton, August 28 – It remains unclear whether Moscow intends to launch a full-scale military attack on Ukraine, Pavel Felgengauer says; but if it plans to, there are compelling reasons – deteriorating weather in the fall and the new round of the Russian military draft in October – to think that it will begin in the next several weeks.

The Russian military analyst says that “Russian forces have been brought to full military readiness and moved up to the borders of Ukraine.” And while this at one level at least is only “saber rattling,” it is clear that it is possible that this will lead to a full-scale military conflict (apostrophe.com.ua/article/politics/2016-08-27/nastuplenie-na-ukrainu-doljno-nachatsya-v-blijayshie-neskolko-nedel/7021).

Indeed, if such an expanded invasion doesn’t begin, then it is far from understandable “why all this is being organized because the forces that have been moved forward are very serious.” To be sure, Moscow has not called up the reserves, but it doesn’t have to because “even without them,” Moscow can assemble “more than 100,000 men” for an attack.

Russian generals are in command of the forces of the Donbass, the so-called first and second corps of the DNR and LNR. And all of these are subordinate to the Southern Military District. But the forces in the Donbass will not move independently in any “principally new” direction without support from their Russian rear.

Everything that is taking place now, Felgengauer says, “is very dangerous, but whether there will be a war is something we shall have to wait and see. It won’t be long. Various scenarios are possible,” but “the main thing for Russia will be to achieve strategic and tactical surprise.”

“And if it does not do that now, then it will be [too] late,” the analyst says: In October, the weather will change for the worse, and the fall draft into the Russian army will introduce problems for commanders, including the rotation out of soldiers who have served their time, that would make any attack difficult if not impossible.

Not clear what they mean, possible trucks of state enterprises/or some military/ KAMAZ caches, not civilians' owned

THIS is actually a very important indicator....during the Cold War German war plans and serious mobilization plans foresaw the mobilizing of commercial heavy trucking assets capable of moving armor, ammunition and troops outside of the regular army assets.....that is why they would test once per year that concept by doing routine safety checks of those designated vehicles....

THIS now confirms that once this exercise is complete and in place Russia can go to full scale war inside minutes.....QUESTION is now is Putin going to fully invade Ukraine Or is he basically "blackmailing the West" by threatening full scale war if Ukraine does not capitulate to his demands???

I read they even transfer trucks from civilian sector into military service?

The western MSM and literally all the western leaders including Obama seem to have totally forgotten that up to this battle the UAF was pushing Russian mercenaries slowly but steadily out of eastern Ukraine....THEN this battle triggered their loses...AND signaled the Russian military invasion of eastern Ukraine....if one actually traces the timeline of the Russian invasion it started at the moment MH17 was shot down.....

Ilovaysk. How it was. Ukrainian column.
They basically shot WIAs, and POWs even after the treaty.

NEVER confirmed by US IC....
