I doubt it. From operations that went public the attack vectors are known and you can extrapolate something about their capabilities.

Of course they could get access if I were a valuable target, but that might just as well be with a large wrench. But they cannot just take control of any device.

And I think many companies might even have better capabilities. Or defense, since intelligence work is very often about industrial espionage.

You don't even exist to them. The NSA wants to infiltrate nations. They do stuff like hire a friendly foreign nation to quietly buy a security company their target depends on and then exploit that vulnerability from a host in a fourth nation.

The NSA is an agency with a yearly budget of approximately 10 billion dollars. There are not many companies that can match that.

Are you talking about Snowden's powerpoint slides or the Shadow Brokers arsenal?
