The Senate Intelligence Committee hopes to learn more about how American spies handle the disclosure of software vulnerabilities continuously discovered by the 16 spy agencies, which are occasionally used as a weak point to hack into computer networks.

The probe includes the threat of a current intelligence community employee being connected to the Shadow Brokers, who have leaked NSA tools over the past year.

The Shadow Brokers announced Tuesday that they will accept Zcash as payment for a monthly subscription service to access leaked NSA files. The group also raised speculation on the cryptocurrency’s ties to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, the Department of Defense, and Israel.

Turns out 'EternalBlue' was a good name for the tool that could cause massive headaches for enterprises in the coming years.
