I appreciate your perspective and the emphasis on privacy However, my point centers on the practicality and realism of securing communications. While the pursuit of privacy is valid, the complexity and efficacy of many "secure" communication solutions are questionable. The market has a lot of offerings that promise ‘military grade’ security, yet often fall short of providing truly secure environments. This leads to an unnecessary complication in the quest for privacy.
It's worth noting that most modern, top-of-the-line smartphones, especially iPhones, are quite secure by default. By limiting yourself to only the essential apps or usage and enabling features like lockdown mode, you can significantly limit the attack vectors. This baseline level of security also makes interception by authorities quite challenging under normal circumstances, maybe even closer to impossible.
In reality, executing an attack, such as intercepting messages, involves significant planning and targeting. It's not just about the technical capability but also about the cost-benefit analysis from the perspective of a potential threat actor. For instance, if a group of cybercriminals targets your crypto, the effort and resources they must invest are weighed against the potential gain. If the value, say 100k USD, doesn't justify their investment in the attack, the risk might be lower than perceived.
If you become valuable enough or are part of a network that's valuable enough to attract such attention, it's likely that there would already be sufficient data/proof to justify the use of more sophisticated (remote) digital forensic methods. This brings us back to the idea of keeping things in perspective and not getting carried away by an inflated sense of risk.
While I don't offer personal consultancy or services through this forum, I'm always up for discussion on these topics. Feel free to send me a message if you're interested in diving deeper into security and privacy matters.
