NSA discloses most security flaws, but that’s not the whole story
The National Security Agency is opening up a bit about how it discloses security exploits… though not by much. Officials have posted an infographic boasting that the NSA shares details about 91 percent of the security flaws it finds, with the remaining 9 percent either fixed by vendors first or held back for “national security reasons.” As it argues, it’s in the country’s best interests to protect the internet by “responsibly” letting software developers know about these dangerous bugs. There wouldn’t be much point to holding back on these details if it wrecked the internet, the surveillance outfit says.
