Linked – Leaked NSA Hacking Tool On Global Ransomware Rampage

The fact that some of the NSA’s most powerful hacking tools have not only been leaked but are now wreaking havoc around the world, should put a complete end to the “going dark” debate. But it won’t. It’s not safe, but many in the law enforcement community, in particular, are in denial about this. “
