- daenney 10y agoThe parent isn't being naïve, they take issue with the current state of affairs and tell how they would like it to work. They're not surprised that that's not the case.
- hubert123 10y agoNope, he is very naive. He calls [cyber] war "ridiculous".There is nothing ridiculous about wanting to be ahead of rivaling countries and having backdoors into their software and computers. What is however ridiculous is the attitude that we should all hug each other and make the bad people go away with love and prayer.
- PleaseHelpMe 10y agoThank you for clearing my point although I still got downvote.
- imron 10y agoAfter Snowden, the Obama administration made a commitment to the tech community that it would not hoard security vulnerabilities, and would instead pass them on to vendors to fix. This release shows that they did not honour that commitment.
- justaman 10y agoA government would only ever disclose a vulnerability once it has a better one to replace it. The government needs a method to counteract an attack from another source(thats their reasoning).
- imron 10y agoNot necessarily. The reasoning should surely be that if we can discover it and use it against them, then they can discover it and use it against us, therefore we should notify the vendors and have the vulnerability removed.
