I love seeing Tptacek being proven wrong as much as the rest of us; but this is just weak.

- fit2rule 13y agoI have no idea who Tptacek is, but - is it really so hard to pay attention? Microsoft collaborates with the NSA. Its in the docs, its been news for months.
- Phlarp 13y agoFor something so obviously well known you seem to have difficulty providing evidence of your specific allegation (microsoft giving NSA advance notice of unpatched zero days.) I don't doubt it happens, so much as I expect extraordinary claims be backed with extraordinary evidence.

- tptacek 13y agoI don't understand. Does the way your argument work rely on people not having read the other comments on this thread? Because neither of those two articles back up the claim made about NSA and Microsoft, and both appear to describe a publicly-known documented program run by Microsoft. And, both of those points have already been made on the thread.
- diminoten 13y agoI'm a little slow, my Googling skills suck, and I've been living under a rock for... let's just say "months". Can you spoon-feed me the exact article, line, and phrase where you got this idea that Microsoft delays fixing vulnerabilities at the NSA's behest?
