Following the US cruise missile attack on Syria ordered by President Donald Trump, the hacker group that goes by the name TheShadowBrokers has released a password to its online documents it calls its NSA "Top Secret Arsenal." They state the release is "in protest of Trump betrayal."
Judging from the reaction by serious cyber players, this is major doc dump.
Wikileaks has tweeted:
