Crowdfunding campaign to buy stolen NSA hacking tools from Shadow Brokers

The price tag for getting hold of stolen Equation Group hacking tools is 100 Zcash. When I started the article about the Shadow Brokers revealing details about its June dump of the month subscription service, the cost of 100 Zcash was equal to $ 22,779.
