    snowden leaked it and another few subsequent leaks confirmed it (these include their literal cyberweapons one time there).

    so yeah, the us has pretty much full access to everything thats online.

        More or less

        Remember back in like 2016 when everyone was getting hacked by that NotPetya ransomware? That was because some extremely nasty exploits for Windows the NSA had been hoarding got out and people started using them because they were so reliable and devastating, like “take over any Windows system anywhere as long as you have network access to it” devastating

        They have to be careful about it though, so no one figures out what they are and patches them

        They definitely have more, probably a lot more

        Specifically, the Snowden thing they were talking about was probably when Snowden leaked a literal catalog of cyberweapons US security state ghouls could order and use lmao
