Where does it indicate the NSA had anything to do with this?
- sctb 10y agoWe updated updated the headline from “NSA had 14 year old zero day to take VPN keys”, which breaks the HN guidelines for editorializing.

- crystalmeph 10y agoIn the "Exploitation and Public Announcments" part of the linked article, it says that this vulnerability was discovered in the documents leaked/hacked from the Equation Group, which appears to be a group either within or extremely close to the NSA, although neither their actual name nor their existence has been acknowledged by the NSA. I don't see any reference to this exploit being used 14 years ago though, although the code being exploited is that old.
