Two days ago, I warned about a mega bug called Heartbleed. Online security experts fear this could be the worst bug of all-time. Now, even more sinister allegations are coming up.
Some witnesses say the NSA knew about the Heartbleed virus, and it’s consequences, for over two years. The Director of National Intelligence sent out an email and vehemently denied this claim. If cyber criminals exploited this flaw, it give them access to countless bank accounts and emails and online shopping accounts worldwide. What would the NSA gain to use Heartbleed? They would collect data from even the most sophisticated hacking organizations. Bud despite that, millions of innocent people are at risk to criminal hackers, and even worse, governments that don’t like us very much. The NSA has been under scrutiny for ten months now, since former NSA employee Edward Snowden revealed the agency was spying on people’s cell phones and computers.
Let me just say: I hope this isn’t true. I know what’s been reported about this agency, and I hope and pray the allegations are just that. But it wouldn’t surprise me. When I look at what’s been reported over the last 10 months, nothing would surprise me about the NSA. I think I know the answer to this one: Is this the last we’ve heard of Heartbleed?
