        What do you mean "developed"? Are you suggesting @NSAGov *created* this vulnerability? I didn't see that in the blog.

        3m followers means you have to write for a general audience, not techs. Bottom line: NSA found vuln, wrote exploit, concealed til post-leak.

        With respect, you're confusing leaks. NSA concealed it until they realized it had leaked to #ShadowBrokers, not the public leak.

        Not to mention that software vulnerabilities are just bugs. You can fix a bug that may close the door to who exploit unintentionally.

        I tend to classify exploits into 4 categories; operator error, genuine bug, design flaw, and insane crypto that was someone's phd thesis.

        The NSA didn't create the vulnerability. Microsoft did. Real responsibility is on NHS and others who didn't upgrade from XP.

        NSA stockpiled and weaponized it.

        NSA does a lot of work to find vulnerabilities and then develop software to deploy them against their targets. That software was leaked last

        Even more extraordinary Microsoft knew about this dreadful flaw ages ago but sat on their hands unless you'd paid for extended warranty.

        You honestly expect @Microsoft to continue supporting a 16 year old OS for free?

        For free!? Whoever said that Windows is open source!? It isn't free. Maintainence costs are included with the purchase.

        Maintenance costs for a fixed period are included with the price. Not forever.

        True, that's why Windows xp had it's maintainence and support discontinued. Nobody contends that.

        The apostrophe is omitted for convenience. I've spealt it correctly.

        "Its" is is the possessive form, "it's" is the contraction of "it is"
