Wouldn't it be nice to know how long the NSA silently sits on those zero days, leaving businesses and individuals with their bellies exposed, as it exploits vulnerabilities for spying purposes? On Tuesday, the EFF filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to access documents showing how intelligence agencies choose whether to disclose zero days. Since these vulnerabilities potentially affect the security of users all over the world, the public has a strong interest in knowing how these agencies are weighing the risks and benefits of using zero days instead of disclosing them to vendors. ./cache/nakedsecurity-sophos-com-2708.html ./txt/nakedsecurity-sophos-com-2708.txt
