Not even the entirety American intelligence apparatus can defend itself against state hackers. Why would we expect lowly iOS (or any other consumer software) to do better?&lt;p&gt;If you have reason to believe you&amp;#x27;re targeted by state-backed intelligence agencies, you really oughta be working under the assumption that they can see &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt; you&amp;#x27;re doing.</text></comment>
