In 2016, a mysterious hacker broke into the NSA network and accessed restricted government files. After downloading all of it to their computer, they found countless amounts of military-grade cyber weapons, which, if used properly, could cause mass destruction across the globe.
The hacker was part of a secretive group known as the Shadow Brokers, and they attempted to auction these tools online, selling to the highest bidder. However, few believed that they had actually hacked the NSA, so the Shadow Brokers only received a few thousand dollars in Bitcoin.
Because these hacking tools could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the Shadow Brokers were absolutely furious, and after multiple attempts to sell the tools, they decided to just release them to the public to watch the world erupt into chaos.
Cybercriminals around the globe quickly caught onto what was happening, and they now had access to some of the most sophisticated cyber weapons ever made.
