US law enables to government to demand a backdoor into any private company and makes it illegal for that company to disclose whether or not this has happened. It is best to assume that any private US company is compromised in this way.
I would say that's ridiculous for most people, but I guess it entirely depends on your threat model... if you're legitimately worried about state-level boogeymen, you've probably got bigger problems and already know all of this.
