      Pretty strange to see people deeply, deeply concerned with information security and privacy gleefully celebrating dump of NSA tools.

      How is this not, on any set of facts, the worst case scenario? Immense harm to both US intel interests and public security simultaneously.

      Which brings us back to question why NSA didn't warn at least major providers, like MSFT, when SB threatened to leak these tools.

      That's a fair question, though I'm not sure I'd automatically presume there hasn't been prior disclosure.

      it's a good question but the answer nobody wants to acknowledge is that the NSA didn't know which vulns they needed to warn about

      Has Microsoft confirmed no disclosure or is that just assumption b/c no patch? I'd believe no disclosure, just see it as unanswered for now.

      I agree it's unanswered. I haven't called MSFT but others have gotten no details thus far.

          warning on so many post-EOL systems is interesting twist. will MSFT try again to force upgrades on laggards?https://twitter.com/daviottenheimer/status/852979580054917121 …

          So has NSA decided it's not big deal if MSFT loses market share because of this?

          hmm a bit like asking if MSFT decided it wants to lose market share by writing poor code and letting others profit from it

          I doubt it'll be long. Cisco got out fast after the first dump to say they didn't know.

          Cisco presumably didn't have 96 days warning.
