Summary: Unwittingly, people are being reminded of the 'special relationship' between Microsoft and the US Army (or government); The back doors or bug doors are still there, even 7 years after Edward Snowden's NSA leaks

"Suspect..."

That's how our reader described the article "Microsoft patches big Windows flaw discovered by NSA" (one of several of this kind published yesterday) and specifically the above portions, which were highlighted by this reader.

We've written a great deal about Microsoft back doors -- as there are many kinds of these -- and yesterday a reader showed us how a con man CEO (faking financial performance) pretends that Microsoft fights for working encryption when it fact we know for a fact Microsoft did the opposite for at least 2 decades. When Microsoft says "security" it means "national" (i.e. Pentagon-controlled) 'security'. Windows has been very imperialistic since the antitrust trial concluded, leaving Microsoft in tact but under tighter government controls. ⬆
