Certainly. I just meant that the CIA seems less likely to have that than the NSA or the FBI. But admittedly it's an uneducated guess.
Could you expand on why you feel the CIA in particular would have high-quality remote exploitation capabilities? Assume a talented hacker wants to join the government. Why would they choose to work for the CIA and not the NSA or the FBI?
I'm not saying the CIA does second-rate work in general, but perhaps their remote access work is second-rate in comparison to the NSA/FBI and to the very talented echelons of the private sector.
- anon101001 10y agoFrom what I have seen, the CIA is full of technical illiterates, and if that extends to this division then most of them are mediocre at best. There are probably a few decent hackers among them, but the majority probably don't have a clue. It is another government agency. The CIA is not about tech, they are more about OPS.
