Q: Would there by any reason for Shadow Brokers to wait until 28 days after release to launch this attack themselves? Besides to blame NSA?

Which may mean there's no connection, but there sure feels like there could be a connection.
-
Also possible that a third party picked up the exploits from the SB dump and is now wreaking havoc.

Right--that's what timing would suggest.
-
If the Shadow Brokers are truly malicious/intent on harm, they're either 1) incredibly inept or 2) hoping to use the timing as an alibi.
-
It all depends on how you define harm.
-
True. I mean standard cybercriminal/financial gain type of harm. Not sure what other motive there could be for these ransomware attacks.
