GCHQ Found—and Disclosed—a Windows 10 Vulnerability
Now this is good news. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)—part of GCHQ—found a serious vulnerability in Windows Defender (their anti-virus component). Instead of keeping it secret and all of us vulnerable, it alerted Microsoft.
I’d like believe the US does this, too.

What this probably means is that they have already hoarded a sufficient number of exploits that they’re not worried about releasing a few of them in bulk.
