I'm sure your router and computer aren't more safe than nuclear plants in Iran.

To hack your computer they need to target you specifically. But yes, they are incredibly capable of that.
What you should worry about more is that they have no need to do so, since they have every single thing you've ever put into a web browser since 2009

NSA doesn't ruin peoples lives.
On a scale ranked between "FCC" and "ATF", they're quite the non-aggressive agency. I'd put them somewhere around "IRS". In fact, they're the least belligerent intelligence agency in the US.
Have you ever heard of a news article with the headline "NSA busts down door to IT firm, seizes hard drives"?
I seriously doubt it. While they do questionable and evil things, it's always for a greater good. That just means it's up to people to make sure their powers and mandate doesn't expand unnecessarily.

NSA will not do you any shit. You want to protect you from FBI instead.

Snowden would disagree.

Fully capable? TAO can hide bugs in computer cables, redirect shipments of computer and networking hardware to insert backdoors before sending them on to their final destination, and likely have a large stockpile of undisclosed vulnerabilities in most major software packages. They may also be able to crack RSA public-key encryption, although if they do, they certainly aren't telling anyone.

For most people, however, the most the NSA will do is sniff your network data for keywords. Read >>59160912, the NSA is looking for specific enemies of the United States, not furry-porn enthusiasts on a weeaboo messaging board. They aren't wasting 60-odd years of developed SIGINT expertise on the average 4chan shitter.

>What is the NSA fully capable of

Fabricating anything and everything

>Can they hack my computer and send a virus remotely

I doubt you know what these words mean, but sure.

>How easily can they ruin my life

A while back there was a leak from a ""legal"" hacking group called Hacking Team. These people sell exploits to nation states for common software. One of those leaks was for a program which gave several applicable uses, such as planting child pornography on a target's computer.

After that occurred, the NSA could potentially call up your local police, leave an "anonymous tip" saying that you were a child pornographer, and the Feds & local police would subsequently raid your home, find kiddie diddling photos, and your life would be ruined.

This is called parallel construction and is one of the most common ways a nation state could ruin your life without earning the ire of their populace. Because you were just another kiddie diddler, weren't you?

Against targeted attack, you are toast.

All they have to do is wait until you leave the house, sneak in, plant CP then call the cops.

They could do this also with remote hacking.

Additionally they can just swap the harddrives in the cops with ones with CP.

Or they can just bust in, kidnap you and put you in a blacksite and do whatever they want.

Or they can just sabotage your car and say it's an accident.

The NSA dienst bust down doors because that's not their responsibility, they're literally an intelligence agency, as you said. That has nothing to do with greater good, they just allow other agencies to be evil.
