306 domain names were listed in total.
The Shadow Brokers have returned and are trying to spook the U.S. government this Halloween. The hackers, who’d previously claimed to have leaked a portion of the National Security Agency’s digital arsenal, today published files that experts believe show which foreign servers were compromised by the NSA to expand its espionage operations.
FORBES looked at the data, seeing servers that appeared to belong to the Chinese government. There were nine .gov sites on the target list, five in China. There was an apparent penchant for Asian machines in general. A large proportion – as many as 32 – of the 306 domain names listed were run by educational institutes in China and Taiwan. Just a handful were based in Russia.
