Why doesn't the NSA just AUDITS actual source code of the software that it deems it deserves to increase its security?
I mean it's obviously an interest to national security.
They could do that while maintaining the backdoors they want to keep so they can have an edge on cyber warfare.
- EdwardDiego 3y agoWhat makes you think this wasn't the NSA?

- _kbh_ 3y ago> NSA can’t even stop their own tools from leaking, never mind take on this. The NSA has kept plenty of vulnerabilities under wraps, the tool leaks were a pretty rare occurrence of the KGB/GRU trying to burn NSA ops without directly involving themselves.
- hgsgm 3y agoWhy would a vendor give their source code to the NSA to attack and also risk leak? The NSA does not protect the public's computers, they attack them.
