a private party can deploy a stingray in an urban area and steal your text messages as readily as the sheriff’s department can.

nobody cares about mine, but this could be deployed near a residence where someone’s password or website is breached unbeknownst to them yet.

that could be a situation where they got a sysadmin or CEO or public figure and think they can get even more passwords leaks or breaches out of the target.

my email would be a snooze fest as I don’t have a personal account and don’t mix personal with business. but I do have credentials to lots of other peoples stuff.

which, sometimes due to their own decisions, could be reset from my email I guess.

I don’t use SMS for any of it because I have a non USA phone number which nobody supports anyway.
