What's worse is the fact that this would be more terrifying if this weren't an action to the NSA's credit. Chinese, British, and Russian governments also have the capability of developing intrusive malware at such a scale.

I see that this is confirmed as the NSA, but the world has been awfully silent on the intrusiveness of Chinese malware practices. You can not travel safely in China without your domestic devices being breached, yet we don't hear about large-scale projects from their government, which also possesses "near limitless resources" at their disposal.

I just think it's interesting there's so much attention on the NSA.

People would be angry even if they didn't know that Equation Group was part of the NSA.
