As the title suggest does anyone find
it curious or at the very least unusual that the NSA has been silent
on the OpenSSl exploit that has given us Heartbleed. Or were they
just the recipients' of this gift from the Lords of Close Coding.
Other than a few token rather vague press releases the folks at Fort
Meade have been very very silent.
How long did they know that this
exploit existed? Who did they notify that that it existed? When did
they notify them? Why did they just notify those individuals who
they notified.
Mr. Snowden so far has been silent on
the subject. Could that mean that at the very least this exploit was
not documented in any of the files that he collected? Or possibly
worse even the NSA did not know about the exploit, and are themselves
just catching up (Unlikely).
Some of us just wonder?
