At some point some enterprising lawyer is going to figure out a way to sue the alphabet agencies for negligence in securing their tools and claim damages on behalf of someone who's hacked by one of them. I've no idea how this would come about, or what it would take to prove it, but the moment one of these claims is made out, the US government will either start getting serious about security or it'll flush all of its hacking tools entirely.
Patriotism and the sense of a free society will not move these clowns, and as we've seen even D. Trump is not interested in removing the surveillance state, so it's going to have to come back down to removing money from someone's pocket or raising someone's insurance premium.
