> 'the bad guys' taking into account that none of them have these kind of resources State actors definitely have these resources. USA, China, Russia at a minimum. I definitely feel the angst against the effort it takes to protect against bad actors. For example the adoption of https/ssl had a lot of worry about how expensive it was to encrypt server traffic. There were people arguing that it just wasn't worth it because the risk felt low, but it turns out the compromising was happening in practice. The ability to not have to guard against bad actors would make implementing technology a radically simpler endeavor, we just simply don't live in that world.

>State actors definitely have these resources. USA, China, Russia at a minimum Do they? Amazon and Google level knowledge, both from live systems with data like all of Google and Amazon, but also the developers and analysts to look through data from it and to comb through source code? I very much doubt Russia has this at least, but it is a widespread American point of view that Russia has, well, basically everything one day and nothing at all the next (IE. Ukraine war). I doubt anyone -except maybe the US- has this.

  > Do they? Have the resources to develop zero days? Of course they do. Like, even Iran, North Korea, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, etc have the resources required to either make their own zero days, pay someone unscrupulous for it or acquire them some other way. It only costs a few million.
