About EternalBlue News
Sunlight for the shadow world of surveillance
Independent journalism covering cyber operations, digital surveillance, and signals intelligence with technical rigor and public interest at heart.
EternalBlue News operates at the intersection of investigative journalism and technical security research. Stories range from breaking news on zero-day exploitation to months-long investigations into state-sponsored campaigns. We operate on the principle of radical transparency about digital threats while maintaining strict operational security for sources. This balance enables publication of sensitive intelligence while protecting those who risk everything to inform the public. EternalBlue News serves security professionals who need tactical intelligence, policymakers who need strategic context, and citizens who deserve transparency about digital threats. We hope to bridge the gap between classified intelligence and public knowledge.

About Our Name
EternalBlue is a dangerous computer exploit developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). It is based on a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Windows software that allowed users to gain access to any number of computers connected to a network. The NSA was aware of this vulnerability but did not disclose it to Microsoft for several years, as it was a vital "crown jewel" of the agency as part of its highly advanced offensive cyber operations. Due to poor operational security practices, this dangerous exploit and hundreds of others have made their way out of the agency, wreaking havoc across Europe, America and the rest of the world to this very day.
EternalBlue remains a bright red warning to us all, that our downfall may not come from our enemies, but from weapons and practices we created ourselves. This publication aims to investigate, without fear or favor, the revolutionary world of universal surveillance that will define the next century of humanity.
