Security Agency: Microsoft Computer

security agency: Microsoft's president and chief legal officer Brad Smith said the U.S. National Security Agency developed the original code used in the attack, which later leaked in a document dump, according to The Japan Times. The admission was leaped on by Putin. The indiscriminate attack struck hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide Friday by exploiting known vulnerabilities in older Microsoft computer operating systems. Microsoft's leadership stated this directly, they said the source of the virus was the special services of the United States, the Russian leader said on the sidelines of a summit in Beijing. Russia has recently been accused of cybermeddling in several countries, but Putin said they had nothing to do with the attack. A genie let out of a bottle of this kind, especially created by secret services, can then cause damage to its authors and creators. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
