"The former executive of Trenchant who pleaded guilty this week to selling his company's software hacking tools to a zero-day broker in Russia, sold at least one of these tools to the Russian firm even after learning that a previous tool he sold the broker was being used by a South Korean broker – indicating that the stolen tools were being passed on to others downstream."
A reminder that if you're not following Kim Zetter (npub1gxm…hhnu) you should be.
