A Twitter user who goes by @1×0123 claims to have stolen the data that The Shadow Brokers hacked from the NSA.
Gizmodo reached out to the hacker and were unable to verify their claims. However, back in April, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, gave them praise for reporting a vulnerability which may lend some credibility.
Thanks to @1×0123 for reporting a piwik vulnerability to @FreedomofPress! Great work. Got a bug report? Please contact @ageis with details.

The hacker says they just need “some money to pay bills and stuff” and offered to share 50% of it with Gizmodo if they wanted to make an offer.
