And you were wondering how the spooks that targeted the Iranian nuclear facilities were somehow able to get their hands on no less than 4 different zero-day exploits.
- danielweber 13y agoSo MSFT was holding off on the fixes for as long as it took USG to weaponize them? Those are the worst bugs for USG to weaponize. First, Microsoft is going to patch them soon. Second, there is now a paper trail from Microsoft talking to the US about the bug. LATE EDIT: in fact, if the person in charge of Stuxnet also saw the exploit they were already using come across the wire from Microsoft, he would likely order it pulled from Stuxnet. They want total deniability.
