I think the best assurance is - even spies have to obey certain realities about what they do. Developing this backdoor costs money and manpower (but we don’t care about the money, we can just print more lol). If you’re a spy, you want to know somebody else’s secrets. But what you really want, what makes those secrets really valuable, is if the other guy thinks that their secret is still a secret. You can use this tool too much, and at some point it’s going to “break”. It’s going to get caught in the act, or somebody is going to connect enough dots to realize that their software is acting wrong, or some other spying-operational failure. Unlike any other piece of software, this espionage software wears out. If you keep on using it until it “breaks”, you don’t just lose the ability to steal future secrets. Anybody that you already stole secrets from gets to find out that “their secrets are no longer secret”, too.

Anyways, I think that the “I know, and you don’t know that I know” aspect of espionage is one of those things that makes spooks, even when they have a God Exploit, be very cautious about where they use it. So, this isn’t the sort of thing that you’re likely to see.

What you will see is the “commercial” world of cyberattacks, which is just an endless deluge of cryptolockers until the end of time.
