The NSA needs exploits to do their job, that's never going to change. What needs to happen though, is a tighter window between discovery and disclosure. Let the NSA look in Mohammed's computer for 3 weeks, and then they MUST alert the vendor.
I'm concerned the Europeans will harp on the Russia connection, and use it as an excuse to move us to WW3.
Parker Robinson
If these are Russian hackers though, very stupid of them to hit their own people so hard. That'll raise the ire of their intelligence services, and will very likely result in many skulls being bashed in.
Can you imagine how nervous the group behind wanna cry is right now? They fucked up the replication rate of their worm, and now they have the attention of the entire world. Good luck trying to move all that bitcoin into cash.

Whatever the ransom price is on the computer screen the idiots have put a much higher price on their own heads.
Lots of people are now looking to collect their scalps.

a tiny spark can burn down an entire village. we humans are not ready for such power.

And the NSA leakers too, I don't imagine they are sitting too pretty right now, considering it was very likely an inside job. That narrows down the search quite a bit.
Jordan Turner
