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.

With due respect, this means "created the conditions for it being exploited", not "developped". "Developed" just feeds conspiracy theories.

The exact sentence is "developed the flaw". The flaw is the vulnerability, not the exploit.

I'm fine with "developed the exploit". But "developed the flaw" seems to imply they introduced it in MS Software (which we have no proof of)

Thanks for the clarification. If you write for large general audience, IMO it is even more important not to confuse ppl by using "develop".

No. The gen audience is capable of understanding the difference between "developed the flaw" vs "refused to disclose the flaw" Credibility--
