You can have perfect crypto on your devices, and great operations, and your messages can still be intercepted several ways. The feds are almost never in a rush.

You can have perfect crypto on your devices, and great operations, and your messages can still be intercepted several ways.
The feds are almost never in a rush. If they want you, they'll get you. If they want you enough, they'll sit in a coffee shop they know you frequent with a high zoom camera ready to read your encrypted texts from across the room. Or they'll bug your car and listen in to your properly encrypted phone calls. Or they'll intercept a package and add some spy gear.
They won't do this to bust some street level meth dealer. But, if you're suspected of something like posting state secrets in a Minecraft server? You betcha. They'll follow you everywhere.

- FredPret 3y agoPresumably a criminal mastermind would know to fake that
- mrguyorama 3y agoSeeing as anybody who takes a credit card on the internet has to do some fraud prevention, that's pretty likely to be very difficult. Hell, depending on how paranoid things have been set up, even having uBlock can prevent you from using a credit card somewhere!
