I feel like the CIA is much more likely to inject JavaScript to attack your browser because it’s more flexible and provides a complex and attacker-exposed interface to browser features.

On the other hand, they probably have back doors to everything, so what do I know?

Apple had a vulnerability in the chip of like 3 or 4 generations of iPhone that was basically only used by the US

Wouldn't be surprising if they got hardware backdoors in a bunch of the common semiconductors. Who could find out if Intel Management Engine or AMD equivalent was doing something sus. If I were the CIA/NSA I'd definitely be thinking of ways to repeat and surpass the Crypto AG success story.

snowden leaked that they have backdoors everywhere, so theres that.

by the way, anyone remembers eternalblue?
