NSA Has 50,000 ‘Digital Sleeper Agents’ Via Computer Malware

The excuse that they are doing that to "give them a heads up" is BS. I think it's a very immoral thing to do by Microsoft. They've giving NSA knowledge about early exploits which they know NSA and others will use them offensively. That's an extremely dangerous, and again, immoral, policy, and it needs to stop.

Microsoft shouldn't even dare to argue against "full disclosure" of bugs from now, when we know that if developers do "responsible disclosure" as they call it, they're just going to give them to the NSA first, before fixing it - which is actually very irresponsible of Microsoft, as it puts all of their other customers in danger of an imminent attack from a very hostile agency. At least with a public full disclosure, they have no chance but to fix the bugs as soon as possible.

No, you can't assume they're doing it just to "terrorists". We already know that with their "collect it all" mission, they'll try to infect and have backdoors into everything, so they can turn anyone at anytime into a target, with the flip of a switch.
