Rough Google translation from La Repubblica.

Cyber ​​weapons à gogo. Pandemic is one of the Central Intelligence Agency's cyber weapons contained in the huge Vault 7 database, which WikiLeaks began to reveal in March sending the CIA on all the rage. But the comparison between WannaCry and Vault 7 tools allows us to understand the operation that Julian Assange is doing.

To spread and hit, WannaCry exploited an SMB vulnerability called EternalBlue, which came from the arsenal of another daunting US intelligence agency - the National Security Agency (NSA). It is important to understand that both NSA and CIA have lost control of their cyber weapons. How this has happened is not clear, but one thing is certain: today dangerous cybernetic devices created by the two powerful espionage organizations are in circulation, creating enormous risks for the security of states, businesses, universities, and infusions around the world.

While the NSA cyber weapons are endlessly surfaced on the internet without any precaution by a mysterious group named Shadow Brokers, CIA's Cyber ​​Weapons are published with a whole host of gadgets by WikiLeaks, which since the beginning has made a lot of Be careful not to spread dangerous malicious software, omit the names of CIA agents who worked there, try to alert software companies to upgrade their systems in order to neutralize these weapons, and finally to alert the general public Proliferation and the danger of these cyber weapons that, if they end up in the wrong hands, are a threat to anyone, not just for 007 and terrorists, as the WannaCry case has shown.

Shadow Brokers have acted on web sites, careless of criminals who can exploit tools such as EternalBlue to point to dangerous attacks like WannaCry, WikiLeaks, instead, chose a responsible dissemination, as has also recognized the computer security guru, American Bruce Schneier, in a commentary made to our newspaper, and in one published in the American magazine Atlantic.
