These are not targeted attacks. Since they are en mass, they dont increase the worth of your data any no one cares about you in particular.
The same is true for cyberattacks. They are done automatically against targets with suseptability to attacks, which could be lots of personal data or known to not check the validity of the services they trust.
From there it is simple for a hacker to either purchase data from a scammer or attack a service with weak security (like the random dropship spam shop that you have also trusted with your financial data).
TLDR: Protecting yourself doesnt make your data doesnt make it worth more unless you are already a target. In fact, your data is worth more because you show others that you are vulnerable. Trusting a 3rd party with your financial data means trusting that they put the effort to protect against hackers that could compromise the service.
Not just financial, but your physical address (unless you are using a po box, which can still be correlated to you), ip, approx location, local devices, phone unique identifier, browsing habits. I am not going to try and name all the kinds of data collectable, but it is trivial to use data related to your device to hack it.
For your question, most likely if you are not a person of interest then attacks wont be specific to you but against a group. So for the hacker, attacking a wildly popular app to extract the info already available is bettee than individually cracking whatever algorithm was used to hash specific data (unless they already have a piece of it).
An example: A hacker tricks an employee into getting username and password (realistically trivial). They spread their influence till they reach an individual with system privelege. They use the private keys they obtain to decrypt financial and account data. The company doesnt even know they are compromised (often takes them months). Now they have two oppertunities. They can sell the cards in bulk on the black market and sell/use all the data harvested by this invassive app. People make mistakes and with a list of emails they can phish the shit out of everyone using the official corp. templates.
Your data isnt just at risk to the first party who collected it, but also 3rd parties who obtain it, legit or otherwise.
Misunderstanding. They are actually pointing to the metaphorical exist from late stage capitalism. They’re actually a bodhisatva showing us the path of anarchism (historically black-lead)
But we also can’t check their process since they are closed source. Also, if they can decrypt in the browser or proprietary app, then they can still read your messages. Browser is vulnerable to other attacks.
Its a joke. Not a very funny one, especially if you don’t know about the parody. This is drawn in the style of a comic artist who is a some weirdo iirc. Think like a Ben Garrison meme with some obviously bad nonesense.
And for mobile Mull with uBlock. Mull is a firefox based browser extensively configured to preserve privacy and security. Firefox (mobile or otherwise) has telemetry on by default, which can be switched off, just an fyi. This site ( divestos.org/pages/browsers ) gives a good comparison and explanation. And this one ( privacytests.org ) gives a decent comparison by testing different metrics.
He is mixed, that doesn’t change that he is black. By whitewash i wasnt suggesting anything about to his race but instead the process of reducing black features in favor of pronouced steriotypic white ones through artistic depictions. Think of Jesus being whitewashed through the centuries.
You just adjust over time. Exposure is important, but only if you feel comfortable. Try making a plan, where the end goal is like calling your doctor, and make small steps. Start by thinking about that call, reward yourself with something small (like a couple m&ms) and practice a bit (not all at once) till their is no anxiety. A 2nd step could be rehersing or/and a friend calling you. Your first step may be different based on your level of anxiety. Have many small steps that eventually get you to your goal. Stay safe and have a good day.

Idk, saving all space and time is self-serving. How else is he going to extract money from the people, conduct stock buybacks to enrichen his shareholders, and recieve gov bailouts
He cries while cratled in a martian crater. There is no one to vaildate his feelings, so he is left with only his ever-present thoughts of guilt and shame. He gets crush by a big-ass rock. The end.
