As TFA calls out, these agents were not asked to do any of these things and yet they did, at a bonkers scale, within just this handful of companies you mention. Whether they had leeway to is secondary to the fact that they did.

Heck, they exploited zero day flaws which by definition means they went beyond common sense security measures.

And now these agents are already being deployed all over the world at an ever increasing pace. How much of the world do you think follows "common sense security measures"?
