Saturday it was squelched by a guy in Britain. While the times may have written the story before they heard...,this is no longer true.

IF you check out Drudge you would know that.

Old stale news

Experts criticized the spy agency for not only developing a dangerous tool to exploit a vulnerability in Windows computers, but also letting it fall into the hands of criminals.

When NSA had it the tool was already in the hands of criminals. :-(

The NSA just has an army of lawyers to keep them out of jail.
