Remember the Shadow Brokers, the mysterious group that stole and leaked a collection of NSA files in 2016? Well, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
A security researcher claims to have unearthed a previously-unknown APT group after reading over some of the dumped files.
The Shadow Brokers published their stolen NSA files online in several batches.
Juan Guerrero-Saade, a security researcher and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, wasn't convinced, arguing that misleading files make their way onto VirusTotal all the time.
Despite the age of the leaked NSA files, he also mused that this activity could be ongoing.
