Secretary Jeh Johnson claims the agency handled 97,000 incident reports and issued 12,000 alerts in 2014. The segment mocks the agency's "house calls" to private companies and its role in mitigating vulnerabilities like Heartbleed and Shellshock.

This contradicts the public narrative that Google researcher Neel Mehta discovered the bug. The hosts suggest the NSA allowed Google to take credit to maintain a "fundamentally strong internet" while hiding the agency's involvement.

They also question how Canadian police were able to arrest a 19-year-old for exploiting the bug if the vulnerability supposedly leaves no logs or traces.

The NSA and the White House issued rare, flat denials, stating their policy is to disclose major vulnerabilities to the public. The hosts analyze the conflicting reports, questioning why the NSA would need such a bug given their existing surveillance capabilities.

Howard A. Schmidt, a former White House cybersecurity coordinator, serves as the chairman of Codenomicon, while Mehta has ties to the Freedom of the Press Foundation. The hosts question the "coincidental" simultaneous discovery of a two-year-old bug by two separate entities.

Hutnick claimed the bug left no "breadcrumbs" and downplayed its impact on military infrastructure. The hosts argue that such media appearances are designed to run interference for the NSA and confuse the general public about data security.

The hosts discuss the "Heartbleed" bug in OpenSSL, questioning why the open-source community failed to catch a vulnerability that existed for two years. They suggest the NSA likely exploited the bug for years while ignoring its potential for domestic harm.
