(MSFT), the world's largest software company, provides intelligence agencies with information about bugs in its popular software before it publicly releases a fix, according to two people familiar with the process. . That information can be used to protect government computers and to access the computers of terrorists or military foes. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft (MSFT) and other software or Internet security companies have been aware that this type of early alert allowed the U.S. to exploit vulnerabilities in software sold to foreign governments, according to two U.S. officials. Microsoft doesn't ask and can't be told how the government uses such tip-offs, said the officials, who asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. The link for this article located at Schneier on Security is no longer available. . American intelligence agencies capitalize on software flaws prior to public remedies being released, affecting security protocols.. Vulnerability Exploitation, Offensive Security, Government Intelligence. . Alex
