Over the weekend, a
cache of hacking tools allegedly created by the National Security Agency’s
elite group of hackers were revealed online by a group calling themselves
"the Shadow Brokers" who claim the code is a tool that can be used to
hack into any computer. Joining me today
to talk all about the hack and the consequences that it can have for the spy
agency’s operations as well as the security of government and corporate
computers is Nicholas Weaver, who is
a senior staff researcher focusing on computer security at the International Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley.
