Re: The real blame goes to..
Fully correct. Global Security is harmed mainly by Security Services (every major intelligence org is doing it) in multiple ways.
1) They create incentive to find security problems AND keep them secret by buying them on the black market.
2) They then hoard these problems to transform them into attack weapons against state-actors, terrorists and criminals alike.
3) Defenders (OEMs and Anti-Virus companies) are intentionally kept in the dark in order to not de-value the attack waepons.
This system is fully conentrated on each actor's ability to attack, not to defend.
So there is a global incentive for the Security Services to keep potential targets on each side vulnerable.
So when ( not if ) the weapon cache is breached, as soon as the thieves learn to control the weapons, they are able to do harm on a global scale.
I understand the thinkiung behind collecting attack vectors - but in effect the Security Services do NOT raise the global security level, they lower it to dangerous levels.
Time to change this system.
Otherwise NSA, GCHQ, BND, FSB et al will become responsible for a major hit against the global infrastructure. It's just a matter of time.
