The Shadow Brokers released what appears to be a series of windows rootkit components in a farewell message. The malware released included many Windows malware files that supposedly all trigger as either “equationdrug.generic” or “equationdrug.k” by the Kaspersky security product.
The files are signed with the same key used previously for Equation Group malware which indicates that these files came from the same threat actor. Talos has convicted these files and will continue to monitor the situation for additional action.
