Chinese and Russian Hackers Mining Shadow Brokers Release

Recorded Future reports that Chinese and Russian cyber actors have quickly obtained and reverse-engineered a set of powerful hacking tools released by the Shadow Brokers (including ETERNALBLUE, ETERNALROMANCE, DOUBLEPULSAR and the FUZZBUNCH framework); forum chatter shows actors recommending and weaponizing these exploits and expressing concern that Microsoft patches for the related CVEs may not fully mitigate the underlying weaknesses, raising the risk that attacks using these tools are underway or imminent.
