Hello guys. I recently acquired a Pixel 8A and it was Google stock os I bought it from a man locally all with cash I brought It home and I flashed grapheneos onto this phone.
What else needs to be done to anonymous this phone and make it a privacy phone and a spy free phone no tracking phone no interception phone and no monitored phone.
Any advice welcome!
Thanks.
People keep talking about threat models, that’s an important exercise for everyone to do eventually. Figure out who your adversaries are what the downsides of them discovering information is and how much effort you’re willing to put into prevent that.
For instance, keeping your phone private from snooping roommates fairly easy. Little bit of effort has good dividends
Being a whistleblower, much more difficult, depending on who your adversary is they could use a lot of asymmetric resources. Boeing has a tendency for their whistleblowers to become suicidal, through some means. And if that was your scenario, you’d have to be very careful.
But the biggest threat of all, the absolute worst threat you could ever face with technology, is a board battle buddy working in signals intelligence… There is no law, there is no restraint, there is no safety… They will find your s***, and they will embarrass you.
