Brokers

Explanation:

A broker is simply any individual or organization that would charge a commission or fee for buying or selling an order that an investor submits. Also, when an organization acts as an agent for a customer and then the customer have to pay some fees or charges for the services, then the organization is a broker. This also applies in this case as threat actors sell the knowledge to government and receive money for the information provided.
