    Dude the headline:

    this hacker tool

    It’s absolutely not a “hacker tool”. It’s a proof of concept. It’s just code. The author and/or editor is leaning on ingrained negative kneejerk reactions from less knowledgeable members of the general public towards the term “hacker”.

      So that’s not Microsoft, that’s Wired doing that. Also it IS a hacker tool. It’s a tool to automate the scraping of data and sending it somewhere.

      He’s a white hat hacker, releasing the tool to raise awareness. If he was a black hat hacker he’d be holding onto it and praying Microsoft goes through with release so he could use it to compromise systems.

      I don’t see any blame shifting at all
