No problem. I hope she stays safe and this ends quick.
I thought about it but the only thing that stops me is that I’m currently on a limited data plan
That’s what my girlfriend told me. If you want to move to the US it’s insanely hard as a Ukrainian. Hell, even getting a tourist Visa was hard to get too and the time you’d get comparatively low visiting time
This does not apply only to Russia. Intelligence services in most countries are tapping traffic.
An example is one project I worked with which included a circuit running from one country to another in Central Europe. When the service was handed off to us we noticed that the optical levels didn’t match the KMZ data (~0.5-1dBm loss of light), which would indicate that there was something within the path that’s not documented. When this was pointed out to the supplier the answer was “This is expected” and no further questions.
So no, this happens everywhere.
