Re: Framed

Yes, I was wondering too if he was framed. On the other hand, there were a number of reports that he wasn't exactly happy with the attention that accompanied his accidental killing off of Wannacry.

I personally thought it stupid to broadcast the "mistake" made with the code because that made it certain that "feature" would be removed in the next iteration), but it could be his personal aversion to publicity that tipped off the Feds to take a look at him.

In that case I'm in trouble too - I don't like being in the news either, that's what got me into privacy in the first place. I work with a number of people who know the price of fame and you can keep it as far as I'm concerned.
