I'm more interested in their NSA hacking "tools". If the NSA can be compromised and have dangerous assets stolen, whether or not there are Windows cracking tools available seems to beg the question.
Also, will heads ever roll at the top of the NSA for these apparent failures? Isn't it akin to stealing weapons from military armories, except that these weapons can be effortlessly, instantly, and infinitely reproduced and distributed worldwide - a risk the security experts at the NSA clearly must have been aware of ahead of time.
- youdontknowtho 9y agoI think that really illustrates the problem with them not taking their "blue team" role seriously enough. Its not like other countries or groups aren't using these same exploits. They could have actually protected us.
- sharun 9y agoRather than heads rolling what will happen is doubling or tripling of budget requests to safeguard the crown jewels, setting up new battalions of watchmen to watch the watchmen and so on. History tells us as these budgets grow uncontrollably sooner or later the empire runs out of cash to pay the soldier.
- hackuser 9y ago> History tells us as these budgets grow uncontrollably sooner or later the empire runs out of cash to pay the soldier. In which nation has that happened? The U.S. certainly has had more serious problems in its defense institutions, and its level of defense spending is relatively low now, relative to post-WWII budgets, and especially relative to GDP.
