That anyone will ADMIT to finding...
Bet on this: If/when one of the TLAs does manage to crack the security
of <insert device of your choosing> they *WILL NOT* make an announcement
saying they've done so. They'll sit back and quietly harvest as much
data using that channel as they possibly can. If/when the fact that
they've cracked it is discovered, they'll either deny it ("Wuddaya mean?
OF COURSE it's secure! We'd LOVE to be able to snoop that device, but
nobody has figured out how!") until such denial is totally unbelievable
by any but the dumbest, or claim that they only managed to do it "day
before yesterday - we're tooling up to put it to use, but haven't got
there yet".

Or if nobody is claiming that it's open, so nobody notices...
