Don’t forget that to achieve this FBI had full remote access to each machine to do this.

The malware allowed arbitrary code execution, it sounds like the FBI sent the malware a command to delete itself.
That’s pretty darn cool!

Yes, my point is that all malware can be used by all parties. And it’s stupid to assume that only bad actors misuse it once it’s installed.
