Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith said in a blog post that the cyberattack is an example of why stockpiling vulnerabilities by governments is a serious issue. "The governments of the world should treat this attack as a wake-up call," wrote Smith on Sunday. "We need governments to consider the damage to civilians that comes from hoarding these vulnerabilities and the use of these exploits."Microsoft follows the usual rule. Graham Cluley violates the rule.
However, British cybersecurity expert Graham Cluley doesn't want to blame the NSA for the attack. "There are other criminals who've launched this attack, and they are ultimately responsible for this."
