We found around 50 victims located in Russia, Iran and Egypt, typically infecting Windows 2003/2008 Server. Targets were related to nuclear energy, telecommunications, IT, aerospace and R&D.

Great. So because the NSA has crappy security (contractors!) the democratic West has just weakened itself against autocratic regimes that seek to control their people.

People that care about self-government and individual freedom have to start to recognize that the NSA - with its democratic controls and checks and balances - is far superior to an autocratic or dictatorial spy agency. And we only get to choose one.
