Maybe instead of spending taxpayer money on weaponized 'sploits from Zerodium while keeping everyone vulnerable, these three letter agencies should get off their lazy asses and develop HUMINT and use conventional intelligence sources and methods.
- notactuallyben 2y agofirstly, very unlikely that zerodium are supplying bugs they use (could be internally developed, or developed by a more trusted domestic defence contractor). What about if the targets are like Osama Bin Laden's (* INSERT MORE MODERN TERRORIST) family (I have no idea who they are targeting). Are you meant to have some dude speak arabic and become close friends with the top terorist leaders? Like how do you propose that even work? Would HUMINT actually work in those cases? I think it's a nice idea for everyone to work on fixing the vulnerabilities, I don't think that will scale with whatever organisations mandate to stop terrorism or whatever.
