Infamous hacking outfit Shadow Brokers announced today plans to retire and go dark after failing once more to sell bulk of their hacking tools. The group published a tweet today and an article on their website, hosted on the ZeroNet anonymous hosting service. The message, pictured below, reveals the group’s frustration with their inability to sell hacking tools and exploits that they claimed to have stolen from servers owned by The Equation Group, a nickname given by security firms to the NSA and its foreign cyber-espionage operations. The mysterious group also admits that the free dumps and the “political talk”” were always a marketing ploy.”
