Sinopse
We learned over the weekend a leaked NSA cyber tool called "Eternal Blue" was used in the cyber attack on Baltimore City government computer systems. The New York Times reports the cyberweapon was made public in a security breach in 2017. A group called the “Shadow Breakers” put the information online. Some say it was a bigger leak than all that was outed by Edward Snowden. Now, the city is looking for federal dollars to help in the cleanup of this mess, seeking federal disaster aid. So, should the federal government help pay for a “weapon” it created, EVEN THOUGH Microsoft had issued patches to prevent it from working??? This morning, I talked with Scott Shane, the reporter from the New York Times who broke the story.
