Hackers prime second classified US cyber weapon by Sam Jones and Max Seddon.
From the post:
Criminal hacking groups have repurposed a second classified cyber weapon stolen from US spies and have made it available on the so-called dark web after the success of the WannaCry attack that swept across the globe on Friday.
The hacking tool, developed by the US National Security Agency and called EsteemAudit, has been adapted and is now available for criminal use, according to security analysts.

Correction:
“…is now available for criminal use…” should read:
“…is now available for widespread criminal use….”
NSA cyber weapons have always in use by criminals. The debate now is over more criminals using the same weapons.
If those weapons are used against the NSA and its co-conspirators, I don’t see a problem.
