If you’re running Windows, always assume that if the US Authorities or Microsoft itself want to spy on you and an individual or on do a little industrial espionage on your company (which US agencies also do), they’ll just use a backdoor already present or at worse push an update to your machines(s) allowing them to take them over covertly. Treat any and all software made by US companies as a foreign agent. All the shit that the US Government and companies say about China, is pure Projection - the result of a mental process of “what would we do if we were the ones making those devices”. (And, yeah, China probably does it to) If it ain’t Open Source, you got it as a binary or can self-update that software is somebody else’s agent and you’re trusting their ethics and goodwill when you have it running in your system outside a sandbox.
