It also highlights the risks of NSA exploiting zero-days and creating malware to conduct offensive operations, rather than reporting vulnerabilities to the vendor to make everyone safer. Now these tools have been stolen by one of their adversaries, and may make it out into the public for anyone to take advantage of.

Slightly off-topic but I also tried to watch "Zero Days" since the subject interest me. But, with the constant exaggeration and dumbing down of the subject, I could only watch about 20 minutes before I turned it off. If you want something technical that is not exaggerated, you better watch something else. If someone have an recommendation, please share.
The last part has some insightful commentary by a number of experts on the new world of so-called "cyber warfare" that we're entering into.
>8) Circumstantial evidence and conventional wisdom indicates Russian responsibility. Here's why that is significant: Interesting that he's not afraid to point the finger at Russia while still relying on them for protection. My respect for him just went up.
Unless this leak was part of that very protection arrangement, or part of some larger play. It's possible Snowden had all this stuff and the timing works out (right?). And let's not forget the mysterious "it's time" tweets from Snowden a few weeks ago. Edit: I don't know why I'm being downvoted here. Isn't this a plausible explanation until we have more evidence?
Personally I think Snowden is the Lemming Prophet of the Epsilon-Tau Lizard People.

Unless you have evidence for any of that you are just playing the "Lets pull out a wild conspiracy card" game. Personally I think Snowden is the Lemming Prophet of the Epsilon-Tau Lizard People.
Edit: His "it's time" tweet happened less than 48 hours after the first TheShadowBrokers account (reddit) was created, prior to activity. Those accounts were dormant until the drop.
It's also possible the timestamps on the files match up to Snowden's leaks because the NSA stopped using that server / etc.
But the "it's time" tweet seems to imply Snowden may have known this was coming. It could also be a conincidence, of course.

Question: Does the NSA have an obligation to be ethical?
Society only functions properly when people act ethically. We have laws in place for punishing those who harm others in various ways (financially, physically, etc.), as a means to discourage bad behaviour. In theory there's supposed to be international law, but sadly no-one seems to pay much attention to it.
Where is the leak he's referring to?
His complete post (just in case) original 4:40 AM - 16 Aug 2016 from @Snowden: The hack of an NSA malware staging server is not unprecedented, but the publication of the take is. Here's what you need to know: (1/x) 1) NSA traces and targets malware C2 servers in a practice called Counter Computer Network Exploitation, or CCNE. So do our rivals. 2) NSA is often lurking undetected for years on the C2 and ORBs (proxy ho…
I know enough to say that this sentence reveals a lot about what snowden knows, and what he doesn't. Mostly the latter. He doesn't seem to understand the context and meaning of acronyms he uses.
Why use something like 10 tweets where a blog post lets you have as many words as necessary. You can still be concise but 140 char is too short, it's just for people that have uninteresting things to say and Snowden is certainly not one of them (unless he starts to comment about the weather in Russia).
