Are you as blown away as I am that the NSA and FBI would actually publish a report alleging hacking with the sole piece of evidence being the same piece of code that you’ve pulled off of the kind of compromised web hosts that individuals and small businesses have been routinely dealing with for over a decade?

This is like the report writer’s version of blinking T-O-R-T-U-R-E in Morse Code.

Hell yes I’m shocked. I thought for sure this would have to be some undetected operating system back door with tunneling through the routers, all run by cyber experts back filling their traces. This is more a low level attack done by first year college cyber punks still living at their mom’s house.

I'm a professional in the field; this report makes me very worried that we are -- essentially -- unprotected.

Good God man, they even cited XSS as a potential vector of the attack.

XSS!!!!!
