Thanks ahead to anyone willing to answer this I don't know the most about this stuff so really thanks for the patience. I've been thinking about spyware like Pegasus lately and wondering what modern methods of securing our data there realisitcally is. I may be wrong about this, but it seems like as we progress more and more its harder and harder for us to be able to secure our day to day devices. That being said is there any methods of "securing our data" without actually having to "secure" it. I feel like theres a pretty big gap in what we can theoretically create from a code perspective and what machines can handle. Like I have a hard time grasping how something like pegasus or even something even more advanced, stores such large amounts of data. Like server farms are a thing for a reason and its not like they're easy to hide especially what i would expect the size of something for pegasus would be. Like if the goal of a program is to infect as many devices in the world as possible then proceed to use those devices to collect as much data on all the users as possible to be able to use that against people eventually how do you store that even with things like compression. it almost seems impossible at the moment to me. even if you have some kind of ai established to only grab things of like key words, phrases, etc. Which leads me back to my original thought is there a way being aware these programs exist to just have some set way of basically feeding them with loads of false data. is that even a doable thing without knowing what exact virus, malware, whatever,etc youre dealing with? would it be legal? like if lets say a government, company, etc is illegally collecting your data and you sent false data does that come back as like a ddos charge on you basically? id imagine youd do something with packets saying for every packet i send send 5 extra with random gibberish with it and use ai to come up with what the false packets could contain under some constraints?
