Hacking tools and exploits the NSA commonly use have been stolen. Possibly by Russia. The NSA had wanted Apple to give them full access to hack suspects iPhones but Apple had refused. What could possibly go wrong? The NSA are secure right?! Anyone who thinks they are 100% secure is a fool.

I think you will find most of these hacking tools come from Israel. They are pretty good at knowing what their enemies and friends are up to.

Anyone who thinks an Android or iPhone is secure is an idiot and deserves to be hacked. I never use my phone for online banking or anything else

Even manufacturers like Lenovo have been caught sticking spyware on brand new kit.

When they ask the manufacturer for assistance it does not mean they keep sitting on their arses till that happens. Anyway, they gave parts of the leaked code to some professor to analyse and he was disappointed that it did not meet his high academic standards. It caught my attention because of this endless struggle of academics and real life programmers. If it gets the work done it's good enough
