      This is a special case. Had @NSAGov disclosed the vuln when they discovered it, hospitals would have had years -- not months -- to prepare.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/863111733161979906 …

      This isn't right. The patch has been around for months. We have patches around for years. What's broken is patching. https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/863109434054254598 …

      I'm all for NSA having a more (much more!) defensive orientation. Wrote about it a lot. But some hospitals are running... Windows XP.

      This isn't either–or, right? Earlier disclosure would've helped, as would have improved patching practices.

      Also, perhaps NSA should do more than just *disclose* vulnerabilities in critical systems. For serious vulns, maybe it should help patch?

      I am absolutely on board that NSA should use its massive resources & brainpower to help secure all of us, above and beyond everything else.

      But this case reveals something else: how tech pushed the whole responsibility to the users for a product they ship "as is" at great profit.

          I agree. For cars we have safety regulations. Nothing equivalent for software that can fail with far greater consequences than cars.

          I disagree on the thought that lives are priceless, very rarely even in healthcare does software directly control life or death.

          Windows has auto-updates per default, so if you run a supported Windows OS "as is", you'd be protected.

          The "as is" shipping has been de facto at least since windows 95. All modern OSs are hackable by design.

          Look at the SMB fuzzing in 2010. I ran away from Windows desktop in 2000 when Outlook Express's security setting didn't work.

          At this time MS had 18 years on the stack & 2 minutes of fuzzing finds bugs. We have products fuzz tested that have no paying customers yet.
