“More than that, to the extent computer hardware and software had security holes, the NSA鈥檚 managers were reluctant to patch them. Much of this hardware and software was used (or copied) in countries worldwide, including the targets of NSA surveillance; if it could easily be hacked, so much the better for surveillance.”
― Fred Kaplan, Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War
