> ...started, as it often does, with a defect in software, a bug. It all started with poor ethics. Every single version of Microsoft Windows have intentionally left backdoors for NSA and some hackers knew how to use it. This is like you pay some money and buy a house, but the previous owner keeps backup keys to watch you. And some others get the backup keys, kick you out of your own home unless you pay them. This is such a shame for Microsoft, NSA and American government. People trusted Microsoft products and purchased them, in return, Microsoft wanted more than money; they wanted to spy them for their ideological goals.

    I have somewhat. I don't recall hearing "every single version of Microsoft Windows have intentionally left backdoors for NSA".

      For last 15 years Microsoft keeps same "bug" in their every single operating system, even after rewriting it bunch of times. Noone except NSA knew about this bug until their tools got leaked, for 15 years. Can you believe it ? Somehow, only NSA discovered and used this bug. And you're gonna sit in your chair and ask for proof. People like you easily get manipulated by shit organizations like CIA and Microsoft because they can get proof of the color of your poop, unlike me. I don't have a proof, but just use your critical thinking skills. If you got any.

  I don't think there is any proof regarding Windows. However, NSA is strongly suspected of (known to?) having backdoored the Dual_EC_DRBG pseudorandom generator by inserting into the standard numeric parameters which allow cracking by those who generated them (i.e. the NSA). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG This algorithm ended up in certain Juniper firewalls and a year ago turned out to have been covertly re-backdoored by unknown actors who replaced NSA's parameters with their own. https://rpw.sh/blog/2015/12/21/the-backdoored-backdoor/ https://rpw.sh/blog/2015/12/21/the-backdoored-backdoor/ There was also another low-tech backdoor in these routers, again not clear who did it. Snowden documents show that they have a budget allocated to the backdooring of cryptographic standards and products: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/09/05/us/documents-reveal-nsa-campaign-against-encryption.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/09/05/us/documents-r...

    That doesn't sound like it was left there for the NSA. Sounds like a bug that the NSA found and exploited.
