The Bloomberg claimed that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) knew about the most critical Heartbleed flaw and has been using it on a regular basis to gather “critical intelligence” and sensitive information for at least past two years and decided to keep the bug secret, citing two sources ‘familiar with the matter’.
In response to the above report, NSA has issued a '94 character' statement today denying the claims that it has known about the Heartbleed bug since two years and that it has been using it silently for the purpose of surveillance.
"NSA was not aware of the recently identified Heartbleed vulnerability until it was made public," the U.S. intelligence agency said on its Twitter feed.
