I don't understand what this has to do with FreeBSD or why this reddit-like post is put here. I also don't understand how people put faith in web sites that claim knowledge of the internal workings of the most secret organization on the planet while ignoring the spy agencies of all the other countries in the world doing the exact same thing.

I paste as a curiosity in offtopic section. I thought safety matters could interest anyone...

Is exist FreeBSD IRC, or something?

When I first saw your post, I thought it was a typical reddit-like, fad post about the NSA which is very tiresome and I'm betting 80% of them are unfounded, to use a polite term, so I apologize for jumping on you like that.

Hardy har har har.

I have to whole heartly disagree.

All the beans are on the table now.

Who was it that weaponized these exploits anyway? If the exploits had been disclosed then this would have never happened.
Choose cyber offense over cyber defense and get pie in the face.

 

[drhowarddrfine]

Phishfry This is getting too politicial but until someone shows a NSA insider who steps up and says they did this, I can only assume it could be someone like Anonymous who actually did this but pretending to be the NSA. If you have proof otherwise, I'd like to see that but, still, I don't like this political nonsense and guesswork about things no one knows or has proof of.
