Yes, but they don't put their crack team on most stuff.
Have you read the Snowden leaks? The actual raw content?
It's pretty tame shit. My main takeaway was ahh, yes the world is as insecure as I thought it was not oh, these guys are using space laser technology hacks.
They've got crack teams to break into some harder gear, and they've got some crazy awesome cryptanalyses going on, but for most of it it's just what you were I would do if someone asked us to get into a bank or whatever. Most stuff is easy to hack anyway unless it's a fully patched iPhone or patched / stripped / locked down Windows server.
Plus you can see the codebases these guys have put out anyway. There was that peodophile CIA coder that had some of his personal codebase match his internal work and there are a bunch of current and former NSA / CSE guys floating around conferences.
I sat with a whole table of them and watched them fall for a simple social engineering attack one minute after being told they were going to fall for the attack.
They're not gods shimon.
