After seeing the last Ransomware attack and read posts about what NSA is doing. I strongly believe, that NSA is part of the security problem that we face now.
Companies like Microsoft give NSA build in back-doors and other ways to go into computers of billions of people to identify potential criminals or terrorists. But what is the problem? By creating custom back-doors it is just a matter of time before someone finds it and abuses it to wreak havoc, just like these days with the ransomware attacks. But this is in the news. I think that smart criminals and terrorists will never expose themselves publicly like that.
Operating systems have been around for many years, and still Microsoft and others cannot create a perfect secure OS? How is this possible???
So my idea is: NSA is part to blame, because they force companies to implement back-doors etc.
(no idea if forcing is the right word...)
