    This is a special case. Had @NSAGov disclosed the vuln when they discovered it, hospitals would have had years -- not months -- to prepare.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/863111733161979906 …

    This isn't right. The patch has been around for months. We have patches around for years. What's broken is patching. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/863109434054254598 …

        I'm all for NSA having a more (much more!) defensive orientation. Wrote about it a lot. But some hospitals are running... Windows XP.

        This isn't either–or, right? Earlier disclosure would've helped, as would have improved patching practices.

        Also, perhaps NSA should do more than just *disclose* vulnerabilities in critical systems. For serious vulns, maybe it should help patch?

        I am absolutely on board that NSA should use its massive resources & brainpower to help secure all of us, above and beyond everything else.

        But this case reveals something else: how tech pushed the whole responsibility to the users for a product they ship "as is" at great profit.

        I agree. For cars we have safety regulations. Nothing equivalent for software that can fail with far greater consequences than cars.

        God your ignorance/arrogance is staggering. Most IC in exploitation business. Like asking CIA to disclose foreign assets to fix leaks.

        Its a manner of expression, but you know that. Yes access for intelligence is something the government provides as a public service.

        Those who's job is defense you are right. Those who's job is access you are not correct, gaining access provides protection.

        They all do, but how they achieve that is different. Access shops can't have mindset of disclosure, they would lose most of their access.

        A vuln that threatens xp to server 2012 is a reckless thing to sit on. They deserve to lose access.

        No, the source is a hacker group called "Shadow Brokers", they tried to sell it, but eventually released it for free when MS patched it.

        According to Shadow Brokers, they breached Equation Group who has ties to the NSA. Kaspersky Lab concluded that this seemed to be true. 1/2

        Snowden leaks have been used to confirm it as NSA malware, by looking at similarities in some numbers and code, but nothing more. 2/2
