NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool Fixes Publicly Known Vulnerabilities Used by NSA

It is a matter of common knowledge that the secret services agencies of many countries use specially crafted software to keep an eye on the computers and networks of their adversaries. NSA (National Security Agency) of the United States is not any different. But recently a group of hackers, known only by the name Shadow Brokers, made public various tools and vulnerabilities used by the NSA. The WannaCrypt (also known as WannaCry) ransomware, that recently infected and encrypted millions of Windows computers worldwide, used one of these vulnerabilities.

It is only a matter of time that cyber-criminals start using other known vulnerabilities that were used by NSA and are now also known publicly. It could be a direct hack attack using these vulnerabilities or they could be used in another ransomware in the future. To avoid anything like this from happening again, you can use a special tool designed by 360 Total Security developers and it is called NSA Cyber Weapons Defense Tool.

    1. No. All this tool does is install all the Microsoft released patches. You can extract the files from this tool using 7-Zip and see all the patches. It is good for older computers running Windows XP, 2003 or 7.
