(1) the story smells bad

<<The time that @malwaretechblog registered the domain was too late to help Europe and Asia>>

more likely script, that

- nsa wanted to test weapons of mass internet destruction

- machinated a malware leak

- released the weapon

- noted the result

- stopped the weapon by either leaking the solution, or <<with the help of Darien Huss from security firm Proofpoint>>

(2) observe that any other explanation would be alarming, like ebola genuinely gone airborne and out of true control

- the entire infection cycle was tee-ed up by Proofpoint

- genuine non-state hacker-launched malware attack

(3) issue, now that folks know the testing protocol and software routine, can adapt other nsa-originated malware by first neutering kill-switch code, then go weapons-free

(4) in any case, dawn of new age

the night that JPM accounts looted to zero is not far off, concurrently along with a much smaller (probably of a small nation) bank

the clients of the smaller bank would be made an example for all.

let us watch & brief
