In other words: NSA paved the way for foreign hackers and criminals...
- duxup 6y agoIt's certainly possible, but I suspect just traditional bugs and poor software is more likely the cause for such events. Software / hardware industry is PLENTY good at paving the way all on its own.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThe article presents an example where we basically know that it happened with Juniper Networks. As you say, the hardware/software industries have enough difficulties with security acting on their own. They don't need the NSA purposely making more holes.
- pulse7 6y agoMaybe they "need" many such "holes" (which are treated as "bugs") just to make sure that if they disable some of those "holes" (because hackers/public found it out) whey still have others ready for the same purpose...
- bitxbitxbitcoin 6y agoAnd likewise, foreign hackers and criminals may have paved the way for the NSA - which is considered a foreign hacker and criminal in other jurisdictions.
