The latest dump, which occurred in April this year, included a number of highly sophisticated tools. More than five million attacks based on exploit dumps by hacking group Shadow Brokers were thwarted by Kaspersky Lab software during Q2 2017, according the firm's security expert Alexander Liskin. The company has also been working with law enforcement agencies to help them identify and stop cybercriminals who are using its products for malicious purposes. Liskin warned about the lack of attention paid to exploit dumps, with the one that took place in April being one of the most dangerous and damaging leaks ever. It included the EternalBlue malware, which was part of the WannaCry ransomware.
