Well, CIQ was hidden for ages, so yeah, I guess they were not the only one in this game. On the other hand even if we find all the malwares in this level, they can just push it down further. Like integrating the functions to the CPU or something. You still wont see any note regarding how the CPU in your phone functions when you sign up for a carrier, and who knows, maybe it is already there, it seems there is a high demand for these functions so they may as well have been already implemented...
