One of the friends in our group of misfits used to own a company that provided security services to the digital space, including encrypted phones for lawyers, many who were/are criminal defence lawyers. This is his take:
1. You’re using the phone to bang woman on the side, not selling illegal nuclear weapons. Authorities give less than absolutely zero fucks about your extra curricular activities.
You’re probably are a well behaved individual so while you feel guilty and dangerous for breaking some cardinal rule of thou shall not cheat, you’re not getting Batman out of the bat cave on this one.
2. If you are currently under investigation, law enforcement couldobtained a warrant, if they have enough probable cause, to investigate and obtain your IMIE information.
From this point, they would have to spend the time tracking your text messages and phone conversations and use that to build a solid case against you.
For the courts to put this much effort into investigating you, you must have really fucked up some big time shit. I’m talking running some criminal enterprise, a multiple offender of fraud, running scams on the government, extortion, racketeering, significant drug trafficking, illegal immigration etc. The point is, you’re already in a heap of shit already if this is even a possibility.
3. You could be the target of extortion if you’re a celebrity, wealthy business owner, person of public or political interest, or pro athlete. If that’s the case, you’d probably pay top dollar and use a service like SKYECC in the first place. Maybe this is you?
4. Assuming your concern is keeping yourself out of divorce court, your attention is misdirected. The phone details discussed are not the issue.
Woman are natural investigators. Probably because guys have been putting their pee-pee in places they didn’t approve of since the dinosaurs and they’ve evolved to sniff this shit out.
The act of finding a second phone on its own can be the nail in the coffin. When questioned, that guilty-as-sin look will spell disaster. A second phone with messages or history will finish you. Deleting everything and having a phone with no numbers or history also looks suspicious.
People get caught when they put the address in the car GPS. Gas receipts at a time and location that didn’t match your narrative. Having a big mouth and it finding its way back to the nest. Browser history, having a spouse friend see you at a specific time or location that sparks suspicions
We live in a highly monitored world however the attention is often caused through things we don’t think about vs what we think we should think about. Do a factory reset on your phone, get a pay as you go SIM and happy fucking.
