    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 …

        And then something. There are always more interesting things to do. And new tech still has old OSes. And no customer cares a fig.

        That is quite an assumption… If the disclosure happened at patch time years ago, then the exploit would have come then, too.

        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.

        @zeynep True, but if months is not enough time, hospitals were being incredibly negligent w/security anyway.

        Many at the NSA have too little #faith in the #intelligence of the public and the #OSINT community, in my experience.
