IMHO
I believe most of these networks are already compromised by serious actors in the (national) security field.
The reason they haven't been taken advantage of so far is that you don't play your Ace's until you actually need them, that way your enemy won't beef up their defences and make it harder for you to gain an advantage when it would count the most.
That's what I would do, and my job is to prevent these things happening by trying to think like the enemy. I try not to voice too many opinions because you never know when someone hasn't thought of something and you are effectively aiding and abetting etc.
