I’m not talking about oop, I’m talking about the guy I replied to who said:
Any foreign travel (for whatever definition of “foreign” applies to you), should be made with the assumption that someone will be attacking your electronic devices.
Fair, then let me make my point clear: most people don’t have any reason to think they’re in any more danger of getting hacked abroad than at home. And I strongly dislike how blatantly paranoid comments like the above one get so many upvotes on lemmy. This is the geek’s version of doomsday prepping
I don’t know who you are but most people’s threat model doesn’t need to include a foreign government spy agency physically attacking their phones. That assumption itself is insanely paranoid.
Edit: Hello?? It feels weird to ask this are yall high profile government workers or else what makes you think foreign governements will be so interested in what you have in your phone?

A person who heard about this on a news segment 15 years ago is talking
The fact that that made the news shows that that’s not a common occurance, not to mention that it was the guy’s own government who snatched his phone, not a foreign spy agency.
Trump has been attacking anyone who supports Palestine regardless of if they are crossing the border or not. People really should be cautious when travelling to countries with authoritarian governments but that’s not because they’re crossing a border or are in a foreign country, it’s the same caution that needs to be observed by anyone living in such a regime
