And you think that the KGB only found out about this by reading
the newspapers?  They probably had access to whatever they
wanted for maybe a year. Thank you NSA (and the horse you
rode in on)

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Something wild about all this is the whole "If you're not doing anything illegal, then you shouldn't have anything to hide" mentality. Has anyone posted the home addresses and bank/brokerage account info of the NSA employees yet?

You have a lot more to worry about than SSD firmware controllers. Your entire system you're using right now is a pile of proprietary hardware slapped together, often running it's own operating system you have no control over.

They hide them behind holograms depicting normal weather. eg. clouds, blue sky, stars..

The next question should be.. "is there a kill switch built into our tech ?"
