RE: TheShadowBrokers Monthly Dump Service - June 2017 Update
(I'm not one of the authors of that paper.)
As far as I know there's nothing incorrect in the paper that needs to be retracted.
You can see one of the authors of the paper — Andrew Miller — being interviewed by a journalist about it here: https://cointelegraph.com/news/monero-transactions-history-can-be-revealed-and-exposed-research The journalist specifically asks "Say I downloaded a Monero wallet right now and got some and tried to send them for a transaction. How linkable would a transaction be today?".
Since some people posted speculations about my company's involvement in the research and our motivations, our company posted this statement: https://forum.z.cash/t/on-improving-user-understanding-progressing-tech-with-science/15387
By the way, check out the awesome block explorer that the paper came with: https://monerolink.com
