It needs to be updated. Modern evil planners don't even need a wrench since they already have most keys given to them in advance by everyone, including nerds
That's cynical, but without doubt true for some people.
I wouldn't want to be someone the NSA is "interested in".
I wouldn't even want to be someone that a customer of NSO Group is interested in. (Just ask Jamal Kashoggi's family or friends)
Hell, where I live they're about to give cops powers to let then hack your phone with a Cellebrite UFED at roadside stops. And it's not even just cops, fisheries enforcement officers Australia have been using UFEDs at least as far back as 2017 during illegal fishing investigations.
If you're doing things that might make someone rich or powerful enough unhappy, or someone in law enforcement - you pretty much need to stop using the internet. And the bar for "how powerful" your potential threat is keeps dropping lower and lower. Just look at all the stories about local cops abusing Flock cameras to stalk ex girlfriend or people critical of them, how could anyone possibly believe those same sort of cops aren't going to use roadside phone forced data extraction tools in exactly the same petty and personal ways, and with exactly the same lack of oversight and consequences?

Care to expand?
Ever put your password into a website that used cloudflare? Ever registered an account with Gmail? Ever had an Android or iOS phone?
That doesn't explain your point whatsoever.

FWIW, GrapheneOS is the only usable phone OS that is legal and Cellebrite can't hack. That's why law enforcement are so horny to ban it.
It's a pity GrapheneOS is allowing AI code contributions...
