        Even funnier: conflation of how many zero days NSA keeps and how often it uses the ones it does keep and develop.

        This is Fred Kaplan's "corrected" post. I wonder if he knows he's breaking big news here?pic.twitter.com/6uA0FyVnF0

        Also, I don't know what Kaplan relies on for certainty WannaCry is NK if he didn't read this. He appears not to have https://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/wannacry-ransomware-attacks-show-strong-links-lazarus-group …

        Oh, I know the argument. It has been made by 2 entities. One (this one) makes it clear that something named WannaCry existed before SB dump.

        Meaning EVEN ON THE ISSUE he corrected he's still wrong. But then the whole thing is a shit show. Buy Fred's book.

        The tool is Eternal Blue. WannaCry and Petra are both malwares that pre-existed Shadow Brokers. SB is not known to have launched Petra.

        Did it? I didn't bother, assuming (given Kaplan's egregious errors on Snowden) it would suck. Glad I avoided it.

        Yeah, many stupid mistakes, like conflating WWW & Internet, saying Netscape "Matrix" browser, misdescribing DDoS, calling BBN "BNN", etc.

        This is either the laziest of reporting or the most intentional of provocation.
