Collect it all, map it all. Remarkable that made it into a story, in any case, given the implications.
.@emptywheel Definitely rang my alarm bells here! "NSA tuned its sensors" sounds like tuning knob to pickup different radio station.
"Hello?!?! Superpowerful tool kit, are you out there?!?!? Hello????"
Of course other implication is place where NSA guy left the tools was unaccessible. "Go back and get them!" "I can't!"
.@emptywheel Or I was thinking he did go back, but toolset wasn't there any longer. Oops!
In which case you'd think NSA would be like ALERT ALERT.
.@emptywheel Which brings up question of how did NSA learn toolkit had been snatched. If no Internet usage detected, remote computer traced?
I love the logic "must be Russian govt because hackers dumped, didn't sell the 0days right away". Excuse me, it's been 3 years.
Right. Have they been scanning continuously for those 3 years? And why would Russia release it either?
I sort of suspected the release was designed to alert some targets that US was hacking them. We shall see if anyone squawks
RT @emptywheel: So NSA masher left toolkit laying around. NSA scanned Internet, didn't see anyone using tools, so didn't tell cos.
