Again, they are in the business of providing intelligence which includes analysis and documentation of exploits.

So no, they are not in the business of selling exploits.

You're right - they are in the business of selling analysis, documentation AND fully-functioning exploits ;-)

As for Trump, when I say "I didn't support him", I simply mean that I didn't vote for him. I certainly have defended him

Why "defend" any politician?? Seriously... they're all crooks. Here in Australia we at least know we're voting for dickheads. Only a rabid fool "defends" a politician...

I think you are are an idiot and have been for as long as I have been on Slashdot (likely longer than you)

The irony - it burns! ;-)

Why exactly are we paying each $100K/year to 30 people who meet twice a year to tell eachother how smart they are?

Best answered by publicly-traded companies that pay "non-executive" board members that and more for the same result? ;-)

USD$30million?? Loose change wasted fueling US aircraft carriers in the same time it took you to post....

Arming yourself is the best way to have a fighting chance against anyone who's trying to kill you

That's worked out so very well for the US of A.... The laughing stock of the world where school massacres are common place...

But how? I don't know how complex networks are managed but I'd assume it would run more or less the way it did previously, only slower.

You're exactly right. DDoS results in maybe staff not being able to email briefly, just annoying crap... Even that can be avoided with planning.

It doesn't imply any further breaching. Maybe a trigger for systems audit - possibly a good thing in an ironic way.

What triggers further inspection in my (PCI-DSS) infra is not DDoS... No, it's traffic from TOR endpoints that registers any blip on the routers.

I've no issue with TOR. It has my best wishes. I will say though, our systems see not 1 byte of TOR traffic that's in any way a "legitimate visitor".
