I have been TRYING to post this but have gotten stuck in the shitstorm. PRAYING that someone sees this finally!
It's a long shot but I think I may have come across (at least one of) the shills. Anyone remember @djwolfff who was threatening Shadow Brokers this summer over the NSA hack? His Twitter linked company page is: spiresolutions.com and their latest news blog was:
"FLASHPOINT GLOBAL CHANNEL PROGRAM EMPOWERS PARTNERS TO ACCELERATE REVENUE WITH BUSINESS RISK INTELLIGENCE"
Here's the "about" text from the site:

Sounds like this kind of shillery is what they specialize in.? I tweeted about it too, just in case I get raked over the coals for being a shill for calling out a shill...
