Microsoft shames US, world governments for ‘stockpiling’ vulnerabilities after massive ransomware attack by Daniel Chaitin.
Microsoft scolded the United States and other countries on Sunday for “stockpiling” software “vulnerabilities” that can cripple computers around the world after a massive ransomware attack, tied to a leaked trove of NSA spy tools, hit at least 150 countries beginning on Friday.
“The governments of the world should treat this attack as a wake-up call,” said Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president and chief legal officer, in a blog post Sunday.
