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?

This sounds like a horrible exploit. It somehow gets around digital signatures.
Thank you, NSA.
