The NSA guys found out their breathing and chatter while digitally recording and eavesdropping on all of our private conversations on phones and with Smart TV’s was being heard. They were embarrassed.

But rather than exploit the flaw for its own intelligence needs, the NSA tipped off Microsoft so that it can fix the system for everyone. More likely the No Such Agency has their own different back door into Windows, but this particular exploit was being utilized by the Iranians.

You know, the smarter thing to do wouldn’t have been to say it was from the NSA; you know, for those who might be a little bit suspicious as to the concept of the NSA wanting everyone to install a patch on their computer immediately?
