I have several problems with FBI&#x27;s activities, but the hoarding of software vulnerabilities is the most serious. If the FBI get knowledge of a considerable risk to people lives, they should be required to protect people rather than use that knowledge as a weapon.<p>I would have the same objection if the FBI had been given information about a string of armed robberies and decided to just catch the criminals after the fact. Protecting innocents and preventing that lives are ruined should take precedence of catching criminals. I can&#x27;t understand how the people working on this case can live with the knowledge that criminals might have used the Firefox vulnerability to defraud elderly with ransom-ware, or steal information which are later used for identity theft.
