I agree on the sophistication part but I think you are missing out on resources used on development of this.

the responsible party(ies) did not access to resources , man power or infra at google or even at an enterprise scale.

I was waiting for someone to point out IDF (Unit 8200?) and NSA collaboration being responsible for this to come up. The only proof we have is a smile by a an Israeli Defense leader in response to a question asked on 60 minutes (or a similarly named show)

Also the author leave a few details out such as the intermitted activation ,for example it was only activated on day 7 and day 21. and other stuff like size of this.

We don’t have a problem when google does it ?
