Could they have been created to be purposely “hacked” by government agencies?

No, you’re thinking of encryption, not hashing. There’s a difference.

Hashing has no encryption key and can’t be reverse engineered by brute force. You’re up against mathematical laws.

You could try to brute force a 256-bit hash. If you constructed an application to attempt one combination per microsecond, it would take you approximately 10^63 years to get one collision.

Don't know about you, but I really don’t have that much spare time.

A microsecond is really slow for networked supercomputers.

I don’t have the time, but state sponsored Intelligence Agencies do.

You’re pompous with your math and certainty. As I said, we’ll revisit.
