What Heartbleed Says About NSA

I’m honestly not sure which would be worse. That the NSA knew about this massive bug that threatened havoc for millions of Americans and did nothing about it for two years. Or that the NSA’s vaunted—and lavishly funded—cybersecurity team was completely in the dark about a gaping and highly-exploitable hole in the operational security of the internet for two years. It’s frankly hard to see any way the NSA comes out of this episode looking good.

Let's get real. NSA protects the "national security state". It does not protect the nation, as in you and me. Nobody in government above the level of sheriff gives a damn about you and me.
