It is NSA[1]. No implication needed. FBI nabs host owner and suddenly code is injected to exploit all end users? Rather tired of people downplaying these events at every attempt. What does your comment add? At least the parent comment you are responding hinted at a potential suspect.

Perhaps he doesn't want to be hunted either directly implicating the US for the US's work.

Seriously, bring something to the discussion if you are going to be asking others to do the same.

By the way the person who started the site linked is being prosecuted by the DoJ[2], no doubt with others involved being hunted down as well. I'm sure there is no implications to any of this.

It is not the NSA and endgame has no relevance at all.
Who is relevant then?

FBI, who happens to work as a conduit for the NSA, along with any number of the other acronym boys? Or the corporations they hire while handing out legal immunity for the actions they are hired for? Or Google and others who also accept payoffs and immunity for helping monitor the acronym boy's targets?

How is the various crony corporations publicizing these deeds as services not relevant? This is the subject of exploits being used on users of a host whose owner was arrested, correct?

I am readily awaiting a more logical answer than another contracted service like Endgame and their pool of exploits they are so ready to use on the non legally immune citizens of the world. Or companies like Google for going along with the dragnet monitoring and exploitation of dissidents.

All of them are connected by virtue of payoffs, insider trading, market manipulation. None of it is irrelevant.
