1) Taking credit for stuff the private sector did 2) Golly how do you think the US avoided damage from the attack based on US tools so well? 3) Ix-Nay on the AdowBrokers-Shay 2/4

4) @MalwareTechBlog took a risk doing what he always does [er, did, before the US government kidnapped him] with malware? 5) Whatever you do, don't follow the lack of money 6) Bossert's backflips to pretend Trump isn't treating North Korea differently than Russia 3/4

7) Pivoting to attack one of the most important private companies, Kaspersky https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/12/19/the-moneyless-attribution-of-wannacry/ … 4/4

There have been warnings about Kaspersky for several years.

And yet w/o @kaspersky you don't respond to WannaCry in timely fashion. Funny how that works.

Wut? I was a first responder working with my org and go/ngo partners. Kaspersky didn't have sweet fuck all to do with our response. I called the incident commander. I ought to know.

Can you point out what you say contradicts what I did? Did you click through to the link?

I don't understand your pivot from "Kaspersky saved us all from wanacry" to "but my page views." There have been plenty of back and front channel warnings re: Kaspersky over the last 2-3 years. Good day.
