In other news, NSA thinks responsible disclosure is the way to go but apparently has no 0days to responsibly disclose. I didn't know TAO sucked so hard. Can't see how any one will buy this.
I was actually inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, but your point actually sort of makes sense. I don't like this feeling of not knowing where the boundary between wacko conspiracy theory and ... y'know ... real life ... begins and ends.
Is it possible that they've quietly disclosed to affected organizations/teams, but that those organizations don't want to publicly credit the NSA as their source?
