I take communication as more than two boring only f*rts (or young one in some cases) chatting about irrelevances but the wider field of communications between one part and another part - that being within the military, banking system, health systems, power systems, etc. That is the form of communication being disrupted, blackmailed and damaged - and it effects almost all people, especially within the developed world. It is getting worse.
The military has their ways of dealing with this, as I've seen first hand. No one else will care until the cost of protecting the network is less than the cost lost by not protecting it. Tesla wants to build cars in China. Elon might as well make Tesla engineering documents open source. The whole world sold itself to China for cheaper rubber dogshit and will pay the price for the foreseeable future.
???? I think most people are not worried about their conversation being listened to or read. But hacking of online banking and purchasing information should be a concern to us all.
The vast majority of people already give that information away voluntarily. If you use a credit card, PayPal, Google wallet, apple pay or shop online they are 100% collecting that data and, in many cases, selling that information to undisclosed third parties. Bank accounts are insured and fraud protection laws are already in place.
