Their spying is not limited to just inside their country, and collaboration with each other helps expand the scope of said range.

The only reason Packard Bell systems were riddled with viruses was due to he type of customer that bought them. If someone did not know much about PCs they bought a Packard Bell, they also clicked every dodgy email link, pop-up, nefarious script possible!

Things like that will never change and is the reason PC World in the UK can still sell a PC, the masses want simple, it certainly doesnt mean there were backdoors in Packard Bells :-/
