Re: The real blame goes to..
But the way I see it, the true people to blame is in fact the Americans, more specifically, the NSA.
The problem I have with this blame attribution, is it isn't quite true, all it would have done is meant us having this discussion X years ago as companies failed to apply the patches and malware skiddies reverse engineered them enough to exploit the vulnerabilities.
Worryingly (because I am strongly against harbouring vulnerabilities), it could be argued that the NSA protected the business world by keeping it a secret. This chaos never happened as a result of a parallel discovery, it was only after Shadowbrokers popped the NSA and released the files. If they had kept them secret properly, this wouldn't have happened.
