Is this really a surprise? Do we expect the FBI to not use phones or computers?
When we use at&t’s phone lines or Microsoft’s operating system, we are implicitly relying on them to be secure. Same would go for using linux or a secure communication app running on top of it. I think most people would rather the FBI be spending time investigating crimes than developing software.

But they’re not. Patch Tuesday exists for a reason. And it’s already, what, 20 years old?
I expect the FBI to take every reasonable precaution to protect investigations and yes that includes developing software.
