Well, they shouln't have involve in "hacking random people". Then we would trust them. They didn't and they still have surveillance and hacking programs. Why would I expose myself and become a target for the next years? Are they trying to know where are the new targets?
Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. Let's say you're an NSA target. You're probably already hacked. If not, then you are very smart or you haven't been an NSA target for long. Let's assume you're a very smart malware researcher - that means you 1. Already have tools like IDA and don't need this, 2. Have an in depth knowledge of how to acquire and run potentially malicious code safely, 3. Have experience figuring out if that code is malicious.
Do you think the winning strategy for the NSA here is to attack you in a way that you're perfectly equipped to deal with?
