I haven't watched the movie but.... I've always assumed that the US, Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and others, can hack at will....
In the 1990s I worked for the phone company. I was a supervisor at a Pacific Bell directory assistance office (remember 411?). We had two large "operator" rooms where the phone operators worked, and in-between them was the switching room... Which connected all of the phone lines in the entire area code. At times I was in charge of the entire building. Once a week or so the FBI would come in to tap phones. You could see the taps on the floor - the recording devices were about the size of shoe boxes and just sat there on the floor. This was thirty years ago. I can only imagine what they can do now.
I don't care. People get all crazy when it comes to "privacy". My text messages are always about future plans, where we are going to meet, what time, etc. I'm not involved in anything illegal. Worst case they might discover I like watching spanking videos, but that is hardly a secret.
