A reminder that this latest ransomware attack (#Petya) is made possible by #NSA-developed exploits #ETERNALBLUE and #ETERNALROMANCE (the former used in #WannaCry)---exploits that the government decided to hoard as 0days instead of notifying Microsoft to fix the issues. Instead of helping to protect the United States and its allies, it has made us far less safe. Petya and WannaCry are products of its negligence.

This issue goes back to the #VEP (the Vulnerabilities Equities Process)---the supposed process that is used by the government to determine whether to disclose to weaponize exploits. If WannaCry didn't spur enough discussion, let's hope this does.
