That might explain where our funding to Israel is going. But aside from just focusing on Israel is cyber warfare the official next challenge?

Do we have any privacy left? We can assume tech companies spy on us, as does the government, but with more and more foreign governments ( we heard similar things about Russia and China in the past IIRC) spying on us what do the wise men and women of sherdog recommend to reduce exposure to cyber spying?

Can anything at all even be done? Do we live with it and maybe behave better online knowing many many many eyes are watching?

Get off all digital media and connected devices. Much of life can still be accomplished offline, just takes a bit of effort. An effort well worth the elimination of dealing with the garbage related to living your life online.

There needs to be a dose of reality in everyone's interpretation of "privacy" when it comes to what you have on your phone or computer. I appreciate my privacy, but I understand the government has everything I've ever sent or received and are storing on my personal devices. It is what it is. As long as the people in the government understand, it goes both ways apparently. I don't want to hear them complain. Just make sure any information identifying agents and sources overseas have the most protection.

You use the internet at your own risk. Now that cellphones are so prevalent it's going to be difficult to protect yourself at all times. Not only is your information vulnerable but you can be video and audio recorded with a compromised phone most people tend to always have at their side as well as your computer.

The ability of to turn on audio and video recording in our devices which like you said are usually by our side always is scary as hell. Then knowing it’s not even DHS but mossad is even scarier.

That just isn't practical for most people. And maybe all of us value our privacy but most of us aren't high value targets.

He asked for suggestions on circumventing. Nowhere did I imply I adhere to the advice. *chuckles*
