Hard to imagine that they so low skilled. If FSB really want to install a backdoor, it will be so low-level that more of a hard work will be required to detect it.

One of the hallmarks of a kleptocracy is that almost everyone is pretty bad at their job because no one cares. Remember when FSB agents bought copies of "The Sims," instead of sim cards, to use to frame people as agents of Ukraine?
