Title: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers Post by: Wilikon on April 11, 2014, 07:18:55 PM https://i.imgur.com/bfwlgLt.png http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-11/nsa-said-to-have-used-heartbleed-bug-exposing-consumers.html Title: Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers Post by: Wilikon on April 11, 2014, 07:28:47 PM Proof that, if it knows about that missing plane position thanks to its spy satellites and other means, the NSA will NEVER share that information to save lives.

Title: Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers Post by: Wilikon on April 11, 2014, 07:54:58 PM It gets worse every day... I have spent the last 2 hrs resetting and changing all my passwords on the concerned sites. Here is a list. This should be on every section of bitcointalk. http://mashable.com/2014/04/09/heartbleed-bug-websites-affected/ http://mashable.com/search/?t=stories&q=heartbleed Title: Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers Post by: Equate on April 11, 2014, 08:37:46 PM No wonder many critical bugs are still unpatched and being exploited in the wild.

How does that make sense? The NSA discovering a bug but not publicising it leaves the world no different to if the NSA had never found it, or if there had been no NSA.

How does that make sense? The NSA discovering a bug but not publicising it leaves the world no different to if the NSA had never found it, or if there had been no NSA. Supposedly the NSA's mission is about protecting, not just spying on the US citizen. Lots of companies are American paying taxes, taxes helping the NSA's employees. But It needs to spy, not to protect thus making everyone exposed to the bug. Because it is its nature. We are the frog, NSA is the scorpion on our back.

How does that make sense?The NSA discovering a bug but not publicising it leaves the world no different to if the NSA had never found it, or if there had been no NSA. That the NSA is much better at finding software vulnerabilities than the open source community? Plus: You don't know that the NSA knew about it two years ago. You know that a reporter says that two unnamed sources say that the NSA knew about it about two years ago.

Squashing those last bugs is time consuming and boring.

Squashing those last bugs is time consuming and boring. Code quality tends to be higher when it's fun to code. When you work for the money, have to meet the deadline, have to work on the project you don't really have passion for it degrade overall code quality. Plus source codes of free software / open source are open. And it's been proven that programmers tend to produce better code with good documentation, and pay more attention to details without derails(work around and hacks). Because people are watching what you've done, you will go back to your work for typos and grammars.

Because people are watching what you've done, you will go back to your work for typos and grammars. As you don't have access to the source code to non-open-source projects to compare, that is really more of an article of faith than actually proven, isn't it?

My game theory, based on evidence, tells me I should not believe the NSA or anyone representing this organization. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v7YtTnon90 Title: Re: NSA Said to Have Used Heartbleed Bug, Exposing Consumers Post by: TheIrishman on April 12, 2014, 09:21:46 PM http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/4/12/1397322901476/d1557760-9521-4eb3-a767-58955daa998f-460x276.jpeg
