The NSA Leak Is Real, Snowden Documents Confirm

  What stops the NSA from buying the tools?

    These tools are years old. They can just report these vulnerabilities to the vendors and use their new exploits.

    Nothing? We don't know that they didn't buy (some of) these particular exploits (in the recent "dump") and, in fact, it's very likely that they do buy exploits. I imagine that CNE of high-value targets is an area where they could "never have enough".
