It's a damn good opinion and you're right really. The thing about the bad malware writers though, honestly Kram the best ones out there probably have already been thinking about it and may be able to do it themselves. They just don't have the extremely sophisticated tools and funds to go as far as the intelligence communities can. All of these attacks eventually trickle down to the small guys, because it eventually gets much simpler to pull these attacks off. The security industry isn't helping matters much because they're almost sitting still technologically, going with what brings in the easy profit. Not to mention it's becoming clear that they aren't all that fantastic at securing their own products. I don't know, while I believe the NSA and its counterparts are doing what they normally should be doing, this is all just getting very ugly. I believe that they too will sometime in the future get bit in the butt for their over-doing it and lack of oversight.
