That's 99% of the battle of getting it.

But the Russian acquisition of NSA hacker tools have changed the equation.
The problem is we are doing the samething so one had to assume the Russians were doing it to.. I mean hell the NSA has had back doors in both software and hardware for a long time. Snowden taught us that..

It was always obvious Russia would have a back door is something like kaspersky.. I mean even if the company was legit (which they arent) Russia is a defacto dictatorship.. if Putin or Russian intelligence wants access to sonething Russian made then they are granted access or they take it..

Obviously, something with so much access to computers around the world would be of interest to Putin, so its always been obvious Russian intelligence would have a back door.
