I think that's going to be the central tension of the next few years. The article suggests that software becoming more secure is going to lead to renewed calls for a "legitimate" backdoor for law enforcement to access everything about the device. Well, that security means nothing if someone phishes Kash Patel, something which has already happened. You go through the weak link, which is almost always the human.

I could see a future where the government is replaced by the software system which has the fewest security flaws, simply because it is the last thing left standing as everybody hacks everybody else. We end up with a Matrix-like or Terminator-like future where humanity now lives in service of the machines.
