It has been estimated that TAO has successfully hacked into, and is
currently extracting information from, over 80,000 computers worldwide. According to the Chief of TAO, who has spoken publicly on this program,
there are things you can do to limit their ability to hack you systems. He mentioned limiting access to important or private information only to those who absolutely need it, not lightening security ever even temporarily, and making sure to shore up any cracks in your security no matter how tiny they may seem. This being said he implied that while this would make is job more difficult it would not prevent you from ultimately being hacked. He also mentioned zero day exploits, flaws in programs or systems that have yet to be discovered and are therefore vulnerable to exploitation. He said that to date only a few of these types of flaws have been discovered but it is a sure bet more will be found in the future.

As an industry we are doing good work making sure products can connect in a meaningful way.
