From /r/fedora over on 
I work in cybersecurity.
Nation state hackers from any country don't give a fuck about random Joe#47492.
Not sure how true this is but cybersecurity guy at my last job told me that basicly nothing will keep you safe from a determined and capable state actor, but the vast majority of threats actually come from random people out for a buck.
You forgot about the bots, checkmate cybersecurity employee. I am all of the hackers.
specifically calls out enemies of the US
Seems like a normal human to me 🤖
90% of "hacking" is just calling someone up and pretending to be their bank and asking to confirm their bank details, including their password. 100% chance that this dipshit would fall for that if someone actually tried it.
I work IT for a hotel chain, and not a week doesn't go by without people calling the front desk and trying to get them to install remote access software. Most famously they will name-drop the owner of the hotel chain to try to make it seem legit.
90% of my cybersecurity training seminars for staff is just teaching people not to fall for phising attempts. Not that front desk has any ability to download or install applications anyway because it works far more often than it should.
lmao I saw that post yesterday and that exact comment made me roll my eyes. there was another post on r/linux yesterday asking if Deepin linux (Chinese linux distro) is safe and all the comments are some variation of "It's CHINESE so you know it's filled with spyware." There's even a few comments like "I would rather be spied on by the US than the Chinese."
btw don't read that linked thread if you don't want to be exposed to classic Reddit-style Dunning–Kruger smugness
Logically speaking, American privacy data is useless to China, but it is useful to the United States.
yea I've made this point before; even if I assume China is spying on me, wtf are they gonna do with this information? Send me a letter like "hey we saw you looking up a guide on how to beat the last boss of final fantasy 4 you motherfucker." On the other hand I live in the US and my government has a history of spying on its citizens and using that information to make their life a living hell
Blackmail them into betraying their country, obviously. Especially with all the security clearance they have as a checks blackmail notes cryptocurrency investment specialist.
