  • Realistically if a foreign threat actor wanted to infiltrate virtually everyone’s devices and one day just ruin fucking everyone’s pcs and phones, unless they were caught there is fuck all that would be done about you.

    Any civilian with could walk into a police station with hard evidence of this happening and then be laughed out at best, or at worst detained for psychiatric investigation because the police are fucking idiots.

    They could contact intelligence services who would dismiss it out of hand as some kind of psychotic delusion.

    Infrastructure may be a simpler target to hit relatively speaking but the utter lack of knowledge most people have to defend themselves against cyberattacks, the opaque, business/government-facing nature of the cybersecurity industry, and the profound ignorance that most people have regarding how their devices work and what exactly is at stake, is, imo, a major fucking problem waiting to happen.
