My best guess on this is that CTS is frontrunning cover for Israeli intelligence by releasing exploits they are using in order to create plausible deniability for Israeli intelligence, presumably because they are about to do something dramatic with those vulnerabilities.

The financial skulduggery in the background is just generally how such dirty scumbags operate, not the primary intent of the release. If you look back to the assault Georgia undertook on S. Ossetia in order to impel Russian response that would engender seizure of the Baku oil pipeline just over the border, massive derivatives were deployed to profit from the expected Russian actions.

This is typical of such intelligence services, whose players are practically universally self-aggrandizing scumbags that think they're too smart to be wrong, or caught.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
